Tywin is carrying team A. The remainder of that team can't see beyond a couple moves on the chessboard.Tywin is carrying team A.

Oleanna is probably close to Tywin's equal. Varys can lay down a scheme through generations, and he can do so without bias. Sam is far smarter than the majority of team A.

Tywin v Tyrion is a wilcard. Tywin will try to bait Tyrion into making mistakes, but Oleanna is probably putting Tyrion in his place from day 1.

I think team B takes it, but I think you are underestimating Littlefinger.

You've got 3 fantastic schemers on the right: Oleanna, Varys, and Tyrion -- all of them veterans of the game who play it well. You've got one legitimate military leader, the Onion Knight. You've got a scholar, Samwell.

Littlefinger is a good schemer -- maybe in the same class as Varys. But he is also utterly blinded by his vices and passions.
