Damned bishop didn't run out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blasted

'damned' is the definition.
(I know that damned can be written as blasted)

'bishop didn't run out' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (abbreviation for bishop in chess).
'didn't run out' becomes 'lasted' (I've seen this in another clue).
'b'+'lasted'='BLASTED'

(Other definitions for blasted that I've seen before include "Like the heath in Macbeth" , "darned" , "Flipping" , "Blown up" , "Damned" .)
