We are just pieces in a game of chess between God and the Devil. The board is the earth and our lives are results of their moves. When we die we just go back in the box to await for the next game.
I was once told this analogy what do you think of it?

I think it's great. I'm not sure what an analogy is but it's interesting.

God and the Devil are imaginary characters, just like Santa and the Easter Bunny. Therefore, the analogy is absurd. When are humans going to take responsibility for their own actions and stop blaming supernatural powers for their evil deeds?

The basic premise is incorrect. The devil does not have the power of God. In addition, if you believe man has free will, he is not controlled by either God or the Devil.
Both temptations and the road to salvation are put before us. It's our choice which way we will go.

It's kind of weak. We make our own moves/decisions. A better one is the one where people say we are pawns of the government.
When the government controls the media (and they do) they can manipulate our feelings and actions very easily.

The analogy is as much crap as the premise for the analogy.

I think it is bullcrap, we have free agency - that means our lives are a result of what WE do.

Why not? One metaphor is as good as another.
