'Play one side against the other' = chơi cùng phe này chống lại phe kia -> nghĩa là tham gia, can thiệp, thao túng cả hai phe đối lập (tranh cãi, hoặc một cuộc thi...) để họ chống lại nhau và mình hưởng lợi.

Ví dụ
"I understand that some French people want to attend. But it's not the role of En Marche to call to protest. We must not play one side against the other," said LREM leader Stanislas Guerini.

That’s exactly what I said! They all just try to play one side against the other to make the press cover their rallies (mít tinh). I heard it was going to last most of the day next Saturday, with a march to follow in the late afternoon.

The Europe question has been fouling (rối rắm) the atmosphere in the party for 30 years, but capable leaders with a national mandate have achieved some veneer (che đậy, ngụy trang) of civility for extended periods. May has no chance. If anything, she has to play one side against the other to survive.

This latest voyage (hành trình) sets sail for the Trident of Poseidon, a mythical artifact (đồ tạo tác) with the power to break any and all curses (lời nguyền) of the sea. Newcomer Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites) seeks to unbind his father (Orlando Bloom) from the submerged Flying Dutchman, where he’s forced to serve as captive captain; Salazar longs to return to the land of the living after being similarly confined to the purgatorial (nơi chuộc tội) Devil’s Triangle; and, as ever, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) just wants to play one side against the other long enough to save his own skin and drown himself in rum.
