Crossword Genius

Game to Israel, I suspect (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

solitaire

'game' is the definition.
(solitaire is a kind of game)

'to israel i suspect' is the wordplay.
'suspect' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'israel'+'i'='toisraeli'
'toisraeli' anagrammed gives 'SOLITAIRE'.

(Other definitions for solitaire that I've seen before include "Board game played by one person" , "songbird" , "One-gem ring; one-player game" , "Bond girl" , "[PATIENCE], especially in America" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
