Crossword Genius

Bishop loves scary shout (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boo

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

'bishop loves' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'loves' becomes 'oo' (love means 0 in tennis).
'b'+'oo'='BOO'

(Other definitions for boo that I've seen before include "Shout in disgust" , "A shocking exclamation!" , "Disapproving sound" , "Expression of disapproval" , "I hated that!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
