Knight wanting great deal chasing good look (6)

I believe the answer is:

glance

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

'look' is the definition.
(I know that glance is a type of look)

'knight wanting great deal chasing good' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'knight' could be 'n' (chess abbreviation) and 'n' is present in the answer.
'great' could be 'ace' (ace can informally mean very good) and 'ace' is found in the leftover letters.
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'l' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glance that I've seen before include "deflection" , "Give a quick look" , "fly off" , "black shiny stuff" , "Skim" .)
