Daring Bishop facing rant (5)
I believe the answer is:
brave
'daring' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bishop facing rant' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'b' (abbreviation used in chess).
'facing' says to put letters next to each other.
'rant' becomes 'rave' (synonyms).
'b'+'rave'='BRAVE'
(Other definitions for brave that I've seen before include "Defy" , "Film about William Wallace" , "Fine" , "Courageous, dauntless" , "Displaying courage" .)
