Jane's keeping her kings in the back row is symbolic of several things: first, it's a refusal to play or win the game. Jane is refusing to grow up, and Holden likes this. Second, it's non-threatening; it suggests the game can go on forever. Holden is confused by adult women (who threaten his childhood). He wants to remain in childhood forever, and so he adopts her strategy. Third, it could represent sexual repression. She wants to stay a child (virgin) forever.
This all relates to her stepfather, whom we are led to believe has abused her either physically or sexually. In response, Holden kisses her all over the face, but not her lips. This is a sweet, childlike act devoid of sexual advance. Holden wants to wash away Jane's sexual abuse with kisses without threatening or arousing her with a kiss on the lips.
