Good morning/evening all! Lots of time for more entries.

I'd like to check my parsing for a few clues in case I'm barking up the wrong tree....

BBM2@7
Computer=Raspberry Pi, file=rasp, chess player=Chuck Berry with Chess Records? Double def.

Ixion@21
Croak like a frog (make a noise like a percussion frog rasp) =rasp
Prince's hat gathered= sounds like "beret"? (from Raspberry Beret),
red=def.

Yeah mattrom I was referring to the Rasberry Pi and the great man.
I've only ever heard anyone refer to that device as a "raspberry" I suppose Xim-leaning grammar would infer that the def. should indicate the removal of "pi" (difficult to keep the surface though)
Whatever else he is, Chuck is certainly a player...

Well, I was a bit worried that my choice of word may be too limited in definitions.
Your combined ingenuity has proven me wrong - and also given me a huge task with so many excellent entries.

I make it 24 entries from 16 posters, not counting revisions.
My short list is very long, but includes chrise@2, GK@5, therogue@8, Ixion@21&33, ginge@22&30, FJ@27 &jws@31

As a winner I picked BBM2's succinct and rather oblique post # 7

Computer file on chess player (9)

Your prize is self-selected:

Thanks for organising (and the mention) mattrom. Good choice (though I rather did like ixion's @ 33).
