Help cheat in game (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

backgammon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'help cheat' is the wordplay.
'help' becomes 'back'.
'cheat' becomes 'gammon' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'back'+'gammon'='BACKGAMMON'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for backgammon that I've seen before include "Game with 24 points" , "Players' race to clear tables" , "Board game for two players" , "Board game played with dice" , "dicey contest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
