You probably noticed, the minions of Big Mom are dressed in Chess' pieces. We saw pawns (ch.825), knight (ch.830) and rook (ch.834).
♛ Queen = Big Mom
The Queen is the best piece of the game just as Big Mom, the Queen of Totland is the best pirate of her crew.
♟ Pawns = Minions and Creations of Big Mom
Pawns aren't powerful but they are numerous and can be embarrassing. Pawns can also turn into a new queen, so maybe the part of Big Mom's soul can turn into Big Mom ?
♜ Rook 1 = Capone Gang Bege
He cans have his men into him like a real tower and we can see towers on his jolly roger.
♞ Knight 1 = Randolph
He has a mount and his movement are hard to predict, such as the piece of chess.
♝ Bishop 1 = Brûlée
This is more subjective. I think Brûlée is based on Saint Joan of Arc. So, we have the religious aspect of the bishop. But, the piece of bishop isn't a bishop in some countries. He can also be an elephant, an officer, a runner or a messenger for example. In France it's a jester or a mad (same word in French) ! It's interesting because Brûlée is based on a French woman which was mad according to her ennemies and Brûlée is a mad woman.
♚ Who is the King ?
In Chess, the king is the objective to reach and he is very weak. Sanji is an noble and an objective. But he doesn't belong to BM's pirates and he is powerful. So I think, the king is the Road Poneglyphe. Big Mom said to Jinbe she can't read Poneglyphe but I guess she put a part of her soul into the Poneglyphe in order to forced it to tell his story.
• What about other BM's Pirates ?
There are only 1 queen, 1 king, 2 rooks, 2 knights and 2 rooks (and pawns) in chess so I don't think all pirates of Big Mom can be represented here. But maybe we will see other chess' pieces later !
Spoiler: Pawns, Knight and Rook

Quote:Joan of Arc, also called "The maid of Orleans", was a French woman during the war France VS England in the 15th century. Nowadays she is a Saint but at her time, she was considered as a witch because she heard voices and she had visions (sending by God).
Brûlée looks like a witch. She is dressed as maid and she cans make visions with her power.
But the most interesting thing is about the signification of her name. "Brûlée" is a french word which means "Burnt". Joan of Arc was burnt by the english army.
