Beat in chess (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mated

'beat in chess' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mated that I've seen before include "Defeated in game" , "Joined, connected" , "had sex" , "given match" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
