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

'complicated game' is the definition.
'chess' can be an answer for 'game' (chess game is a kind of game). I'm not certain of the 'complicated' bit.

'binge-watches series about' is the wordplay.
'about' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'CHESS' is hidden in the letters of 'binge watches series'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chess that I've seen before include "that has over thirty men on board" , "Game involving mates" , "show" , "board meeting" , "Ancient war game whose name may have derived for the Persian for 'king'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
