It's pronounced like {caxmat} in Hebrew also. That could be also
derived from Russian, as chess was a game of Russian immigrants more
than the other groups. Earlier Hebrew writings had a different name
for the game, something like {ickuki}
The interesting thing is that the name is derived much like a lojban
lujvo, from {cax} meaning king and {mat} meaning dead.
