On-board diversion? (5)

I believe the answer is:

chess

(Other definitions for chess that I've seen before include "form of battle" , "Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus musical" , "This is played on board" , "that has over thirty men on board" , "Sixteen-men-a-side game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
