* [[No Accounting for Taste]]: Florence and Freddie. [[Word of God]] confirmed this at the album stage, however by the time the production rolled round, the need for [[Adaptation Expansion]] means that Florence ''says'' she loves him. Also implied for Anatoly and Svetlana.

* [[No Name Given]]: Anatoly and Freddie are simply "The Russian" and "The American" in the original [[Concept Album]]. Also, The Arbiter only has a name in a few versions (Jean Jacques van Boren, Constantine Stannos, Kobe Obe), [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|though nobody calls him that anyway]].

* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Puts the "sliding" in the sliding scale. It starts out a touch on the idealistic side, then takes a hard right into cynicismville. "Nobody's Side" is a bit cynical, but {{spoiler|Anatoly's decision that he is his one true obligation takes the cake.}}

* [[Smug Straight Edge]]: The Arbiter can come across this way, with his insistence that he (and, by implication, he alone) cannot be bribed by anything from women to drugs, or in any other way swayed from his loyalty to [[Serious Business|the rules of chess]].
