Question 1

What does the cryptic crossword clue "Little craft displayed by chess champ - is he struggling? (8)" mean?

The definition is "Little craft". The wordplay uses an anagram. DING (synonym="‘chess champ’ – probably Ding Liren, the current World Chess Champion, but it might also be Ding Yixin, a lesser light in the Chinese Womens Chess Championships, although the following ‘he’ makes that even less likely") + HIES (synonym="HIES") = DINGHIES; definition: "Little craft" The answer is DINGHIES.
