Ending in chess (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mate

(Other definitions for mate that I've seen before include "One of a pair or a pal" , "Officer below master on a commercial ship" , "Ship's officer or marital partner" , "Chess finale" , "Spouse on team" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
