Team RWBY obtained the "White Knight" pieces. JNPR got the "White Rook" peices. "White" generally stands for light, goodness, and purity. Black usually stands for the opposite. CRDL obtaining the "Black Bishop" pieces was a direct reference to their overall terrible personalities and intentions (Or, at least, I think it was).

And I heard someone mention once that Cardin Winchester alluded to Cardinal Henry Beaufrot, The Cardinal (like the church type) of Winchester back in the 1300's. He is generally viewed by historians as a corrupt and greedy man. So, a Black Bishop.

But thats looking really deep into things. I just saw white knight - white rook - black bishop and saw symbolism.
