Bishop guided around that place chatted (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blethered

'chatted' is the definition.
(to blether is to talk aimlessly)

'bishop guided around that place' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'b' (abbreviation used in chess).
'guided' becomes 'led' (similar in meaning).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'that place' becomes 'there' (I've seen this in other clues).
'led' enclosing 'there' is 'lethered'.
'b'+'lethered'='BLETHERED'

(Another definition for blethered that I've seen is " Rattled".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
