chess set

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'all those required for a full board meeting' is the definition.
I know that 'board' relates to this answer.

'required for a full board meeting' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'required' could be 'set' (as in a set text) and 'set' is located in the answer.
'board' could be 'chess' (chess board is a kind of board) and 'chess' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chess set that I've seen before include "It's played with kings, queens and bishops" , "Game with kings, queens and bishops" , "men, along with the board" , "It's played on a chequered board with 32 pieces" , "King, pawns etc." .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
