Many thousands of moves taking ages (1,5,2,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

a month of sundays

'ages' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'many thousands of moves' is the wordplay.
'moves' indicates an anagram.
'many'+'thousands'+'of'='manythousandsof'
'manythousandsof' anagrammed gives 'A MONTH OF SUNDAYS'.

'taking' is the link.

(Other definitions for a month of sundays that I've seen before include "for ages" , "A bit of a stretch" , "a long time" , "lots of services?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
