They may be card themed, but the names (King's Victory and Queen's Demise) also allude to chess since ones king can win and ones queen can lose. Same as in cards. King trumps Queen in card games and is also the same when it goes to chess since the King has more value.

To clarify, he is one that has allusions to chess and cards since they are similar in a few ways, especially when strategy is concerned.

As for being called Checkmate, he has that as a catchphrase when he defeats someone and he more likely uses that form (card sniper rifle) when he decides to finish the battle or snipe them off at a distance, getting the opponent into said "Checkmate" to the point where they would lose or in a massive bind by his teammates. :P

It sounds weird, but it is a reasonable reason. Especially when it concerns Tai.
