Bishop having consumed gets hammered (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beaten

'hammered' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'bishop having consumed' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'having' says to put letters next to each other.
'consumed' becomes 'eaten' (similar in meaning).
'b'+'eaten'='BEATEN'

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for beaten that I've seen before include "Thrashed or whisked" , "Worsted" , "Defeated or mixed vigorously" , "Well used" , "Struck; defeated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
