Bishop takes port and spirit (4)
I believe the answer is:
brio
'spirit' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'bishop takes port' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'b' (abbreviation used in chess).
'takes' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'port' becomes 'rio' (I've seen this before).
'b'+'rio'='BRIO'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for brio that I've seen before include "Animation (Italian)" , "Vigour, vivacity" , "(Of music) spirit" , "'Con ..., musically with vigour (4)'" , "Liveliness, maybe in music" .)
