Crossword Genius

Bishop at home in container (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bin

'container' is the definition.
(bin is a type of container)

'bishop at home' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'b'+'in'='BIN'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bin that I've seen before include "Receptacle for kitchen rubbish" , "Storage container" , "Domestic receptacle for rubbish" , "Waste container" , "Graves seen here" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
