7d "Turning in century, man in game's making a score" (7)

N?C?I?G I'm assuming it's NICKING or NOCKING which would give making a score, but otherwise can't see the parsing

Any help much appreciated

turning "in" = NI
nicking

Turning in is ni
Century is C
Man in game (chess) is king
Nicking?

turning in ...gives NI + c (century) + king (chess man)

century : C
man in game (chess) : king

Thanks very much eirlys

... and also Rusty and Kirky :)
