Eccles printed out game (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intrepid

'game' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'eccles printed out' is the wordplay.
'eccles' becomes 'I' (where the crossword setter is 'Eccles').
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'printed' anagrammed gives 'ntrepid'.
'i'+'ntrepid'='INTREPID'

(Other definitions for intrepid that I've seen before include "Audacious" , "Fearless, adventurous" , "'Brave, dauntless (8)'" , "Novel" , "Bold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
