How would you translate دعونا من قوانين اللعبة in the passage below? The passage is from an Arabic short story. The story is about chess and the narrator plays against people in a cafe.

دعونا من قوانين اللعبة شبه الشائعة والتي كنت أجيدها في الزمن القديم على طريقتي الخاصة, انكسار يعقبه صحو وانتصار, وكل من يتعايشون معي في المقهى نفسه في ذلك الزمان البعيد يعرفون أنه من النادر أن أكسب أول دور رغم براعتي المشهود بها, ربما كنت في داخلي شخصا لا يميل إلى حصار الآخرين أو الاعتداء عليهم أولا
