We know for a fact there is at least one white Queen and one black Queen. Both debuted in Episode 7, the black more obvious than the white (which would appear later in Episode 9 along with a black Knight and a lot of other items Yang was carrying).

The white pieces were aligned Pawn, Knight, Rook, Bishop, Queen with one white Pawn missing (until Yang takes a Knight, then the Pawn suddenly reappears while both white Bishops disappear 0_o). The black pieces were aligned Pawn, Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen with both the black Bishop pieces missing (explained later as having been acquired by Team CRDL). Of course they also reappear when Yang takes the white Knight while a black Queen and a black Rook disappear... (and a white Pawn appears where there should be a black one... X_x)... as this was not changed in the Youtube version of the Episode, it is unclear which arrangement was the default though one could assume it was meant to be the arrangement shown prior to Yang's taking of the white Knight.

I wonder if (as it was not "corrected") this swap that only the audience would notice is some kind of symbolic foreshadowing of events to come. Yang takes a Knight and everything is thrown out of whack.

By the way, Cardinal is also a title for religious figures, another way in which CRDL's bishop correlates.

I wonder if the Queen's could allude to an all female team treated or taught like royalty (i.e. Alice, Jasmine, Aurora, Ariel, or actual queens [though most queens are depicted as evil] like the Snow Queen, the Fairy Queen, Grimhild, or Queen of Hearts)

Then there are the Pawns... I don't have a decent guess for this. Other words for Pawn are sacrifice and martyr (among many another)... I would guess this is the reason we don't need to see who obtained the Pawn pieces as they will likely be our resident Red Shirts.
