Bishop travels to see wives (6)
I believe the answer is:
brides
'wives' is the definition.
'bishop travels' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'travels' becomes 'rides' (riding is a kind of traveling).
'b'+'rides'='BRIDES'
'to see' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for brides that I've seen before include "Debris (anag)" , "Girls about to marry" , "trains behind them?" , "Women getting married" , "Women for nuptials" .)
