How to checkmate with king and queen in chess?
To checkmate with a king and queen in chess, you need to use your queen to control the board and force the opponent's king into a corner.

Finally, deliver a checkmate by placing the opponent's king in a position where it cannot move without being captured.
How do you stalemate with king bishop vs king?
If a player still has a pawn, this pawn can be promoted to a greater piece (Queen, Bishop, Rook, or Knight -- usually the Queen is chosen) and, if the queen or rook is chosen, this means a win for the player starting with the pawn. Stalemate only occurs if the pawn is captured by the opponent before it can be promoted. Also, if a player is left with only a king and knight, or only a king and bishop, and the opponent only has a king, or a king with either (a bishop or knight), in these situations, it is impossible to bring the opponent to checkmate. Only with the king and a rook or (obviously) with the king and a queen, can checkmate be accomplished.
How can a player achieve a pawn checkmate in a game of chess?
A player can achieve a pawn checkmate in chess by advancing their pawn to the opponent's back rank and promoting it to a queen, rook, bishop, or knight, creating a situation where the opponent's king is in check and cannot escape capture.

Can a king checkmate with a king?
No. It is logically impossible to checkmate the opposing king with a pinned piece. Checkmate can occur only after a player moves one of his pieces to put the opposing king in check. Since the "pinned piece" is pinned and cannot move, it is incapable of checkmating the other king. In the case of discovered check it is possible for a pinned piece to checkmate. It is possible nevertheless to mate with a direct check using a piece that becomes pinned as a result of the move. Here is a position, with white to move: k7/7R/K3b3/1Q6/8/8/8/8 (for those who do not understand this antiquated notation, white has Ka6, Rh7, Qb5, and black has Ka8, Be6) white black 1 Rh8 † Bc8 † 2 Qb7†† Black, on move 1, blocks white's rook check along the last rank. In doing so he checks white's king on a6, and it is a legitimate check, even though the bishop is pinned. When white then interposes the queen to block the bishop check, the black king is in a mated position. His bishop cannot capture the pinned queen, because it is itself pinned! And the white queen does in fact threaten the black king because she would capture it before the black bishop had opportunity to capture the white 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.
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 king take bishop or queen?
