"I don't play."
"You should learn. We're all pawns me' dear."

No.66 the Ex-Admiral is "double speaking" here. He may be talking about the game of chess, but he means the game No.2 plays, that everyone in The Village is a pawn in No.2's game, and that No.9 should learn to play "the game" if she wants to survive in The Village.
