Crossword Genius

Sympathise with beer guzzling bishop in Nice (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agreeable

'nice' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sympathise with beer guzzling bishop' is the wordplay.
'sympathise' becomes 'agree'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'beer' becomes 'ale' (I've seen this before).
'guzzling' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'bishop' becomes 'b' (abbreviation used in chess).
'ale' going around 'b' is 'able'.
'agree'+'able'='AGREEABLE'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for agreeable that I've seen before include "sympathetic" , "In harmony; pleasant" , "delightful" , "Pleasant, acceptable" , "Cordial" .)
