In games at the highest level, this would happen maybe once in a lifetime. It is more than possible if you have always been used to your opponent saying check that if you come up against someone who doesn’t say it, you may miss the fact they have put you in check and go to make a move that does not either block the check or move the king. When playing chess online or on an app, there is often a notification, or at least you’ll not be able to miss the fact you have been placed in check because it will not allow you to make any illegal move and you will have to get out of check to continue the game.
