Such a great distance rook flies in Chesterfield? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sofa

'chesterfield?' is the definition.
(chesterfield is a kind of sofa)

'such a great distance rook flies' is the wordplay.
'such' becomes 'so'.
'a great distance' becomes 'far' (synonyms).
'rook' becomes 'R' (chess abbreviation).
'flies' suggests deleting specific letters (some letters fly away).
'far' with 'r' taken away is 'fa'.
'so'+'fa'='SOFA'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sofa that I've seen before include "Couch" , "Somewhere to sit" , "Upholstered seating" , "Upholstered seat for more than one person" , "Lounge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
