agree  Yavor Dimitrov: I'd think the singular (perpetual check) is more common.

  -> thanks, but i think it is rather the plural "perpetual checks".. perhaps we should play a game to decide who's right :-)
neutral  Ivan Klyunchev: Why checks?
9 mins
  -> because they are perpetual, and you give more than 1 check.. this means you can give 2, 3, 4, and so on checks to the opposite player's king.. ever played chess?
agree  Vladimir Shapovalov: perpetual check(s) (и двата варианта стават според мен). Поздрави от София! ;-)
