What is a chekmat?

Answer 1

A "chekmat" is a term commonly associated with the game of Chess, referring to the position where a player's king is in check and has no legal moves to escape, resulting in a loss. The term is derived from the Persian phrase "Shah Mat," meaning "the king is dead" or "the king has no more moves." In chess, achieving a checkmate is the ultimate goal, signifying victory over the opponent.
