Thanks for the info.

EDIT:
Anyway, found the answer for my own question

From f.i.d.e.

'5.1
The game is won by the player who has checkmated his opponent’s king. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the checkmate position was a legal move.'

'....This IMMEDIATELY ends the game.'

This means the other player checkmates him and he lost, and not that he WILL lose in a turn that where he is checkmated because he will not be able to get out of it and then player will capture him.
