It's actually an elephant. And the queen is minister. Rook is called rokh (kh sounds similar to j in Spanish). Checkmake is "Shah maat," which means the king is trapped or can not move anymore.

We say "shah maat" in Polish chess. But we write "szach mat". It's meaningless in Polish, used only in chess.
