Are you required to call check / checkmate and is it enforced if it
isn't called?
Thanks,

Dear
viewer, In casual games, a checking player can say "check" when making a checking move
or "checkmate" when mating the opponent's King but it is not required and is no longer done in formal games.
If you put your opponent's King on
check, and you do not announce the check, and your opponent
moves another piece because he did not notice the check, you
must speak up and let him know he is in check. This last move
should be voided and positioned to its original place.
Also, you cannot take his King if he fails to move his King out
of check by omission since it is an illegal move.
