You don't have to say either. No Chess rule requires it, and it may be distracting to your opponent or those around you in a tournament. If you achieve checkmate, you should offer a handshake, or do whatever you normally do to conclude your games, but you do not have to say "checkmate."

Actually,

Nope... but if you're a little bit, you know like: "Hahahaha, Check mate you St**id," like that... yes, if it is really a checkmate... but there are many types of winning the chess...

Vocabulary:

Checkmate: When the king, the most important piece in chess,(maybe in the castles too.) doesn't have any place to move! And a piece of the check mating person checks the king of the one to be mate.

Stalemate: Happening when the king to be mate has no place to move but no piece has checked it... then it's a tie!

Check: A piece is threatening the king (though a king couldn't be eaten). The king should be moved, block or eating the threatening piece.

Kinds of winning the game CHESS!

1.) Resigning

It is the method of winning the game by the person who thinks that he will lose and no signs of hope..... then he or she could resign.... then you wins!

2.) Mating

The most, of course it's famous! letting the enemy's king mated.... no place to move with a piece checking it....

No, you do not need to say "checkmate" on the first move. But if you actually checkmate him, say "checkmate" or just "mate" to remind the opponet you won.

No. Declaring a check/checkmate is not required since most players know when they are in check or checkmate. If they don't notice, then point it out to them.

no,
check means that the king is in danger of being captured but may evade it in some way

checkmate means that the game is over because the king has no way to escape capture

You say 'Checkmate' when the King is under attack and has no spaces or options to move to or to remove the attack. The person 'checkmated' loses that game.

Yes. If you fail to speak the word, you forfeit the game. If you say, "Checkmate", and it turns out that indeed, it is NOT checkmate, you forfeit the game.
