I think the value lies in it's historical and mythological values.

A Knight is often portrayed as a hero and champion for the weak and innocent

A Rook (or castle) is a fortress, and a gold Rook would be used to protect people in it's walls

Then we come to the Black Bishop, cunning, sneaky, and hungry for more power in disregard for the values it claims to uphold and preach.
