Mesa is a geographical term meaning tableland.
The remaining one I'm reckoning is an anagram of "hopper" with men, or something like that.

PHEROMONE
"hopper" and "men" (for pieces) as an anagram.
It's a bad clue, imho, with the "to" in it.

Hi Claire,

Sorry to put a spanner in the works but for
Compound hopper shot to pieces
I have got Ph-s-h-r-t PHOSPHORET

Anagram of (hopper shot)

I would appreciate the views of our more experienced solvers on this one as maybe I am misinterpreting the clue and Epipnoia is correct.

Blessings.

Joker -
I expect you're right.
And yes, I'm certainly wrong, since I can't get two p's out of "HOPPER".
It's a shame this forum doesn't have the ability to properly sign up to, by the way.
I'm feeling the opportunity to start something myself.
Do you people use Twitter, BTW?
If so, follow me via EPIPNOIA.
Better things may be yet to come...
