At that time the pawn can then be promoted to a queen or any other chess piece with the sole exception of the king .

In chess can a pawn capture a queen?
Yes, a pawn may capture any piece on the board as long as it is a legal move. One way it could happen is the pawn is blocking lets say a Bishop or a Rook from attacking the opponent's king. The pawn moves to a square where it attacks the Queen. Normally the Queen would either just capture the pawn or move away from it. But if the move of the pawn now places the king in check from that Bishop or Rook (this is called a discovered check) the King must move out of check. If the player now in check has no alternative but to move the King out of check, then once he moves the king, the pawn is free to capture the Queen.
What is it called in chess when it is your opponets turn but he can't move because the king is in check if he moves but he only has two pieces king and pawn and his pawn can't move or attack?
If you or your opponent cannot make any legal move and the king is NOT in check, it is called stalemate and the game is a draw.
How do you use a pawn to checkmate a king in chess?
The pawn can checkmate the king but only in conjunction with at least one other piece to protect the pawn from capture by the king and at least one enemy piece placed near the king so that it cuts off any escape avenues the king would have. If a pawn places a king in check and the king is completely surrounded by his own pieces in such a way that its only move would be capture the pawn and if no enemy piece is placed so that it can capture that pawn and if the pawn is protected from capture by one of its own pieces, the pawn has checkmated the king.
