No. The king must still be put in check mate. This is impossible with some combinations of pieces, so the match will be a draw. The match will also be a draw if the king is accidently put into stale mate.

How do you win the game of chess?

Checkmate them, Make them resign. those are the only ones. ============================================ The object of the game of chess is to checkmate your opponent's king. Placing your opponent's king in check means that his king is threatened with being captured by one or more of your pieces on your next move. A player whose king has been placed in check has three options: move his king out of check; block the opponent's piece giving the check with one of his own pieces (note: in the case of a knight giving the check, this option is not possible); or capture the opponent's piece that is giving the check. If a player is unable to overcome the check in one of those ways, that player's king has been checkmated and the game has been lost. Often, a player will realize that his position on the chessboard is hopeless and that having his king checkmated by his opponent is inevitable. In such circumstances, that player will usually resign the game. The symbolic gesture of resignation is to lay one's king on its side.

What is a defeat called in chess?

Depends on how you won. If you checked your opponent's king and he cannot block the check, capture the checking piece, or move his king away, you win by checkmate. If your opponent tips his king over and says "I resign" You win by resignation. If your opponent runs out of time in his/her clock, you win by time. If your opponent is 30+min. late, you win by "no-show".
