About This Clues Answer
We think the answer is "CHECKMATE" which means:
- noun
- • Complete victory
- • A chess move constituting an inescapable and indefensible attack on the opponent's king verb
- • Place an opponent's king under an attack from which it cannot escape and thus ending the game interjection
- • Word called out by the victor when making a move that wins the game.
- • (by extension) said when one has checkmated someone (placed them in a losing situation with no escape.)
An example sentence would be:
- • "He moved his queen and declared checkmate."
- • "The grandmaster celebrated his victory with a checkmate."
