Current piece on board (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

draught

I believe this is a double definition.

'current' is the first definition.
(a draught is a current of air)

'piece on board' is the second definition.
(piece on a draughts board)

(Other definitions for draught that I've seen before include "man that may be crowned" , "unwelcome arrival under the door?" , "It may be drunk" , "Unwelcome blow" , "Current - drink - drawing - checker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
