This are two terms that you will hear very often in the game of chess. "Check" means that your king is threatened by your opponent's pieces while "Checkmate" means that your king has no where else to go to be free from "Check". A checkmate means that king is surrounded and the player controlling it has lost. In the game of chess, getting a "Checkmate" is your goal. The main difference between these two words is that "Check" means that you have to move your king away from being eaten while you have already lost in "Checkmate".
Stalemate, on the other hand, means that a player is unable to make any more moves in his turn.
Thats it. Now to learn about the pieces.
