Anyways, as for the chess pieces, I think they're something to determine what a team's missions will be during the time they're at Beacon. I'm imagining Beacon as something very similar to the DWMA in Soul Eater, so the teams are going to get sent out on real-world dangerous missions from time to time. So depending on which choice you make as a team, that determines what kind of fights you get into. Someone who picked the queen would always be on the attack. Someone who picked the King might be guards for Beacon Academy. Someone who picked the knight would probably jump around doing various missions all over the world.
