Corner pieces in chess

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rooks

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rooks that I've seen before include "Fleeces; chessmen" , "Chess castles and birds" , "Large, crow-like birds" , "Overcharges" , "men on the board" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
