I did say that it was voice over: Karen I think, that says chiss instead of
chess, while she has no trouble with less.
To ascertain if it was only specific to iAssociate that this anomaly
occurred, I have just sent a text to a friend in which, apropos of nothing at
all, I wrote chess, but she: Karen?: still read it as chiss.

Which voice are you using?
I gather you are actually talking about the way VoiceOver says the word chess,
not Siri.
Tom says Chess just fine.
To change VO’s pronunciation of a word you can go into the VoiceOver settings,
Speech, pronunciation and enter the word and then enter the fonetic spelling
you want to get it to pronounce it correctly.

The original came in quite a long time ago, but is relevant to my question.
The question was re the pronunciation of names, but I assume that the same
process would apply to rectifying any mispronunciation?
Not that the fate of the world is, entirely, dependent on it, but v O's
pronunciation of the game chess is chiss and I would like to reeducate her.!
She pronounces less as she should so, why she makes an exception when it comes
to chess, I cannot understand.

How to Get Siri to Say Your Name Correctly
By Sarah Kingsbury updated on 07/07/2016
Siri isn’t always so great at pronouncing names correctly. The AI is great for
calling or sending messages, but it’s incredibly frustrating when you tell Siri
to call Jaqueline and the AI searches the web for Violins. Luckily, you can
teach Siri to pronounces your name or any name. Part of the personal
assistant's capabilities is being able to learn. Whether it’s your name or a
friends, you can correct Siri’s pronunciation in a few short steps. Here’s how
to get Siri to say your name correctly.
To teach Siri how to say a name correctly,
hold the home button to activate Siri and then say, "That's not how
Siri will then ask you how to pronounce the contact's first name. Say the name
correctly.
Siri will offer you two or three pronunciation options to choose from. Select
the one that is the correct pronunciation.
If none of the options are close enough, tap Tell Siri Again to repeat the
process until you get a pronunciation you like.
Siri will then repeat the process for the contact's last name as well. Having
corrected Siri’s pronunciation, the AI should be able to say your name, or a
friend's name, correctly now.

Hi I have someone in my contact list that one time Siri asked me how to say
that persons name.
So now how can you correct that way Siri is saying the name if you didn't
like what she has changed it to if you have already had her make the change
once?
And told her that was the way to say it.
