Knockout is a tournament conducted as a series of matches in which the winner of each match advances to the next round and the loser is eliminated.

Answer 2

Knock out in boxing means ... game has been won using hard punch to oppenents and is unable to fight for next rounds... otherwise normaly it is decided on points earned in 12 rounds... In chess knock out means check and mate.... and game is won by giving direct defeat to opponent ... not on points... I think so...
