'to grab lady in one piece?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'to grab lady in one piece?' is the wordplay.
'grab lady in' becomes 'ge' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'one' becomes 'the' (both can introduce a definite example of something).
'piece?' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for Rook).
'to'+'ge'+'the'+'r'='TOGETHER'
