Computer player is more spirited (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gamer

This clue is a double definition.

'computer player' is the first definition.

'more spirited' is the second definition.
('game' can be a synonym of 'spirited')

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gamer that I've seen before include "player using computer" , "More spirited" , "One plays" , "Keen computer player" , "More handicapped" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
