Can you place yourself in checkmate?

Question

Can you place yourself in checkmate?

Answer 1

no it is illegal to put yourself in check because then your ing would be vulnerable.  if u have no options it is a tie otherwise known as a stalemate.  also if your king is the only piece left and you can survive 13 moves it is a stalemate

Answer 2

no you can not, it is illegal to make a move that puts you in check, if you have no other option its a stalemate

Answer 3

No, I'm pretty sure you cannot. If you move and set yourself in checkmate, then you have to move back to take another move.

I guess in the long run you'd really be setting yourself up to be placed in checkmate, but as far as I know, you can't place yourself in that position. What fun would it be for the other person if you just killed yourself?

None. :P

Answer 4

No, you'd have  to move into check.  You can put yourself in stalemate and your opponent can move to check you, if that is what you mean.

Answer 5

The answer is no. If the answer is yes, it's stalemate.

Answer 6

No.  If your only move is to move into checkmate then that game is a stalemate.  No king can move into check.

Answer 7

No.  Your king can not move into any square that would put him in check, let alone checkmate.  

If you no longer have any peices to move, and you aren't in check, then you are stalemated instead.
