Hello everyone,

I am curious. Is there any good and simple way to sign for "Checkmate" without fingerspelling?

I've found online that you essentially paint the picture and context prior to signing something like "king has fallen. he had nowhere to go". Something I can think of is drawing the check symbol in the air and following up with spelling "mate". I know some people in the community might use the # symbol, but wondering if there is a more known common way of signing this.
