Chess ploy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gambit

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for gambit that I've seen before include "tricky move" , "play involving sacrifice" , "Opening manouevre" , "Stratagem in chess" , "Initial move in chess" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday.com and The Telegraph.
