駆け引き

外交（がいこう）の駆け引（かけひ）きでは、とても彼（かれ）には及（およ）ばない。

I am no match for him in diplomatic shrewdness.

かけ引（ひ）きがお上手（じょうず）ですね。

You would make a good diplomat.

いつも真っ向勝負（まっこうしょうぶ）だけでなく、たまには虚（うろ）虚実（きょじつ）実（じつ）の駆け引（かけひ）きとやらもやってみたいよね。

We have to be ready not only for a straightforward test of strength, but also for a struggle in which every strategy comes into play.
