Equipment for board game Susie oddly put in trunk (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
chess set
'equipment for board game' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'susie oddly put in trunk' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates alternate letters (letters in the odd-numbered positions are used).
'put in' is an insertion indicator.
'trunk' becomes 'chest' (I've seen this in another clue).
The alternate letters of 'susie' are 'sse'.
'sse' inserted inside 'chest' is 'CHESS SET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chess set that I've seen before include "Game with kings, queens and bishops" , "It's played on a chequered board with 32 pieces" , "It's played with kings, queens and bishops" , "King, pawns etc." , "men, along with the board" .)
