| Apr 7, 2022 at 9:26 | comment | added | Steve Ives | @TylerH My question was actually "Why is Rf8 not checkmate?" in response to the statement that it wasn't (and the answer is that it would be) rather than if that was a legal move. | |

| Apr 5, 2022 at 16:41 | comment | added | TylerH | @SteveIves "I could win if I could perform this illegal move" is not a useful/valid argument in determining the outcome of a Chess game. | |
| Apr 4, 2022 at 13:42 | comment | added | Steve Ives | @TylerH Got it - so yes, " Black plays ...Rf8" would be checkmate, were it a valid move. | |

Use FEN viewer; use more consistent and gramatically-correct wording.

| Mar 24, 2022 at 11:42 | comment | added | Carl Witthoft | I'm with @TylerH here. The situation you are trying to describe can't happen, because by definition the only way to avoid having your king captured on the next move is to escape check. | |

| Mar 23, 2022 at 15:22 | comment | added | TylerH | @SteveIves Checkmate requires no escape from check. White can escape from check by taking Black's king and winning the game. QED, not checkmate. (To be clear, my comment above is intended as a bit of a frame challenge by highlighting that the language used is problematic and that's why OP has this confusion in the first place). | |

| Mar 23, 2022 at 9:38 | comment | added | Steve Ives | @TylerH It certainly looks it t me - why isn't it? What valid move does the white king have? | |
