Q: In the game of chess, where does the term "checkmate" come from and what does it mean?
[right][snapback]614217[/snapback][/right]
It means that you have cornered the King so that he is being attacked by pieces and there is no possible means for it to escape.
And where it comes from. It was an Australian term invented when two Aussie grand champions were playing each other when one made his move, then slowly realised that he'd won. The saying went something like this: "Check...........................
long pause ............
the penny drops .............Maaaaate".

My source says it's a Persian phrase "Shah Mat" meaning, 'The King Is Dead'.
guess this is another draw, huh?
