checkmate (şah mat) is a chess term meaing that the opponent has no chance but to give his king. The title of the news is deliberately (bilerek) written as two seperate words, because the Chineese government is trying to checkmate bigamy and infidelity by putting all the marriages records, that is, checking the mates.
