Cheat man on board (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rook

I believe this is a double definition.

'cheat' is the first definition.
(I know that rook is a kind of cheat)

'man on board' is the second definition.
(man can mean a chess piece)

(Other definitions for rook that I've seen before include "Gregarious crow" , "Use deceit to get money" , "Gregarious black bird" , "Crow-like bird" , "Steal - castle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
