'sure' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'burning to get a hold of large queen' is the wordplay.
'burning' becomes 'alight' (set alight).
'to get' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a hold of large queen' becomes 'lr' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'alight' enclosing 'lr' is 'ALL-RIGHT'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
