Make chess not war!

Hey there! I'm not a native English-speaker so please forgive me for any mistakes.

I was watching US presidential campaign with patience and interest. And I am a good ches player.

I see that Clinton won a couple of battles but most luckily Obama would win the war.
How do you call these terms in chess?
