You're right! Just look at American politics.
@tobstar123
The checkmate sign is always written as part of the last move rather than an addendum, which seems to support @Arisktotle's view.
Which piece would you say checkmates here?

that conversation is finished, I already admitted that he was correct I simply said that it is impossible to checkmate with a king directly
can a king checkmate a king
Short answer: Online? No. Over the board? Yes.
Long answer, If you're playing over the board chess and you come into a position where your opponent's king is staring down your king with no other pieces left on the board, you can wait for your opponent's king to slowly decompose over the course of 50 to 100 years, however if the piece is not made out of wood, waiting about a few centuries should do the trick, occasionally you can quickly switch out your piece for a new piece without them noticing, after some time has passed you should remain the victor with the board somewhat intact. Hope this helps!
Sure, the king can checkmate via discovered check but not directly, it's not really the same thing though, and I don't think it was the question that @laurent3792chees was asking. I think he was asking if it can checkmate directly and I think it was meant to be a joke anyway.
Anyway, I don't want this to be a big argument so I don't care if you're right or I'm right, I'll leave it there. k bye Have a good day
