No, you cannot.
Putting yourself in check is an illegal move and has to be retracted (and followed by a different move with the piece previously touched and moved, provided it has a legal move.) (If it has no legal move it can make, then you can make any legal move with any other piece.)
The FIDE Laws of Chess are the authority on this situation. Article 3.9 says:
"9. No piece can be moved that will expose its own king to check or leave its own king in check."
Can't argue with that.
You can of course put the opponent in checkmate by making a move that GETS YOU OUT OF CHECK. (Doing so would probably involve a discovered check.)

Chess Rules Check
2016-11-07 05:23:07 · answer #2 · answered by kigar 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
half of the people here do not know what they are talking about. I have played chess wince I was four years old, and I am pretty good, I have only lost about fifteen games in my life, half of which were against my dad. You CANNOT, I repeat, for all out there, CANNOT put your own king in check under any circumstances. Puttin your own king in check is an illegal move. If you try it in a tournament, you will lose, for you cheated. Sorry, but I know my stuff. Good question, and I hope the answer helps: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is most interesting question. OF COURSE YOU CAN!!!!
Here's an example: If every piece of chess were lost but the black king and the white king, and the white king strolled up to the black king and cornered him at h8&g7, then the white king would be checked but not in checkmate.
That is because his move was last. Or, i'm just wrong, and it's called a draw.
Hope this Helps U

No. The rules quotes are accurate. Here is the logic behind it.
When you tell another player "checkmate" you are giving him a courtesy. He has no moves left and you will take his king on your NEXT turn.
If you opened up yourself to a "check", your opponent would simply take your king BEFORE your NEXT turn and you would not get the opportunity to take his king.

No. "A player may never leave his king in check at the end of his move."

A player can never move into check. Which is what your question suggests.
