Crossword Genius

Splendid, splendid bishop (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

superb

'splendid' is the definition.
(both can mean excellent)

'splendid bishop' is the wordplay.
'splendid' becomes 'super' (I've seen this before).
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'super'+'b'='SUPERB'

(Other definitions for superb that I've seen before include "Wonderful, really great" , "First-rate" , "First-class" , "Outstandingly excellent" , "choice" .)
