if u only have a king and he is not in check but wherever u move u will be in check is that a checkmate
if it is your turn and your king cannot move without putting himself in check (no legal moves,) but is not currently in check, then that is not a checkmate. it is a stalemate. (in my book a stalemate is a win when you're down) :)
