Opening in chess later had revised place for bishop (9)

I believe the answer is:

cathedral

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

'place for bishop' is the definition.
'cathedral' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'Place of worship ' mean 'cathedral' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'cathedral'). I am unsure of the 'for bishop' bit.

'opening in chess later had revised' is the wordplay.
'opening in' indicates taking the first letters.
'revised' is an anagram indicator.
The first letter of 'chess' is 'c'.
'later'+'had'='laterhad'
'laterhad' with letters rearranged gives 'athedral'.
'c'+'athedral'='CATHEDRAL'

(Other definitions for cathedral that I've seen before include "It could hold a large mass" , "Head church of diocese" , "Principal church of see" , "Christ Church or St Patrick's" , "place of religion" .)
