If the king is not currently in check and has nowhere to move without being in check, it is stalemate, which is a draw.
However if any other piece of his can make a move (i.e a pawn), then it is not stalemate, and you are forced to move whatever piece can be moved.

The game of chess uses those terms. Chess does checkmate means your in check and you cant get out and stalemate means you have no where you can move
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.
In chess can you move into checkmate?
No. You may not move INTO check. If that is the only move available, it would then depend whether or not you are already in check. If you are in check and cannot move to a square where you are not in check, it is checkmate, the game is over, and you have lost. If you are not in check, but cannot move without going into check, and you have no other piece or pawn that can move, then it is stalemate, and the game is a draw.
When does a game of chess end?

Can the king move on check?
Yes, the king can move out of check, provided that doing so is a legal move (i.e. does not move into check again). If it cannot and there is no other way to defend the check, then it is mate.
When the player has no legal moves in chess?

What is the maximum checkmates in chess?
There are several chess rules related to this question. First, no number of consecutive checks automatically creates a checkmate. Second, there is only one limit to the length of a game without a checkmate, called the 50-move rule. You could put your opponent in check 49 times without a checkmate, but on the 50th move (assuming there has been no pawn move or capture) the game is a stalemate (a draw). Third, many checkmates occur the very first time the enemy king is placed in check. Fourth, there is a rule called "perpetual check". If you can show that no matter what your opponent does, you can again put him in check every move, you can call a stalemate (draw). This is a useful rule if you have a big disadvantage but the enemy king is exposed.
What is an example of stalemate?
A stalemate occurs when one player's king is not in check, but has no legal moves left. Most often this occurs when a player's king is not in check but the player's only available move would put the king in check. Since the rules forbid a player from moving the king into check, the player has no legal moves remaining. But since the king is not "in check" it is not a checkmate.
How many chess moves without capture for a stalemate when you have a king and the other player has two queens and a king?
A "stalemate" does not depend on the number of moves. A stalemate occurs when the king no longer has a legal move or where one opponent has a king and a knight or bishop against a lone king. This is because a king and a single minor piece like the bishop or knight cannot checkmate the king. Since checkmate is impossible, the rules declare it a stalemate. On the other hand, a "draw" may be declared if after 50 moves there is no capture AND if no pawn has been moved during those 50 moves. Although a stalemate and a draw amount to the same thing in practicality, they do have different terminology.
Who wins in a stale mate?
In ChessA stalemate is a condition in which neither side can win, and so it is when it ends a game of chess. If the player to move cannot make any move without putting his king into check (jeopardy of being taken) and the King is not already in check, it's called a "stalemate." It's considered a tie game.Stalemate has also become a widely used metaphor for other situations where there is a conflict or contest between two parties, such as war or political negotiations, and neither side is able to achieve victory, resulting in what is also called a dead heat, standoff, or deadlock.In this usage, unlike in chess, "stalemate" often refers to a temporary impasse that may ultimately be resolved.
Can you move into stalemate?
There are several ways; here's one: 1. Nc3 Nc6 2. Nb1 Nb8 3. Nc3 Nc6 4. Nb1 Nb8 5. Nc3 Nc6 Stalemate. There's a rule in chess that if players repeat the same moves three times in a row a draw can be agreed. There are no conditions on this, so the above move sequence on a freshly setup board is perfectly legal.
