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 Newsday.com, the King Feature Syndicate, the New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph and the L.A. Times Daily.
