==Known Checkmate Scenarios==
A checkmate in regicide is known in-universe as "full mate".{{Fn|12}} *'''Blind Man’s Mate ''' - a form of victory, named because it isn't seen coming.{{Fn|1}}*'''The Traitor's Gambit ''' {{Fn|4}} - An aggressive strategy that involves moving an Ecclisiarch piece to the center of the border, ahead of the disposable citizen pieces.{{Fn|12}}*'''Vichek Clearance (Catachan Hook) ''' - An elementary trap that relies entirely on an opponent underestimating the player setting the trap. This maneuver can result in a player's churl sliding across the board to rest beside their opponent's monarch, resulting in the underestimated player's victory. On [[Vostroya]], this is called a [[Catachan]] Hook.{{Fn|7}}*'''Fool's Mate''' - When the opponent can make only one move, and if done so, then it would be full mate. Hence the name fool’s mate.{{Fn|12}}
