What is the difference in mate and checkmate?
A checkmate in chess is when the king is checked and has no where to go. A stalemate is when the king is not in check and has nowhere to go and his other pieces(if any) also have no where to go. A stalemate is considered a draw. A checkmate occurs when a player's King is in danger of being captured by the other player's very next move and either the other player cannot move the king to a safe square, or cannot move one of his other pieces to block the capture or move one of his other pieces to capture the threatening piece. Checkmate ends the game with a win for the player checkmating the other player. Stalemate occurs when one player's king is not in check but the only legal move the king can make puts the king in check. Stalemate also ends the game but it counts as a draw.
Which game is Checkmate and stalemate associated with?
It is associated with chess. A checkmate is when one player puts the other player's king in a position where it can get it without further moves.

Is it possible to checkmate someone with just a knight?
No. A Knight with only a king cannot checkmate the other King, even if that King has no other pieces. Under the official rules of chess when a game comes down to one player having only a King and the other player having only a King and a Knight, the game is automatically a draw. The same goes for a King and a Bishop against a lone King. This is why the Knight and Bishop are referred to as "minor pieces" while the Queen and Rook are "major pieces." A King and Queen or a King and Rook are able to checkmate a lone King.

Can you checkmate someone in chess with your king?
It is possible to checkmate with a queen against two bishops, just as it is possible to checkmate with two bishops against a queen. However, in perfect endgame play, two bishops versus a queen, without any other pieces on the board is a draw, given that 1. The bishops cannot take the queen or vice versa 2. There are no tactics with which the queen can force a capture of the bishop in a few moves 3. There are no extenuating circumstances where either side has to give up a piece to avoid checkmate. In other words, if the king is in or near the center defending both of the bishops and the opposing queen is not in the bishops' line of fire, the game is a theoretical draw.
