I'm trying to ask a question.  If I am in check by my opponent and I
can't move my king to safety or protect it, but I make a single move
elsewhere on the board and checkmate my opponent, is it then a draw? 
Does
the rule prohibit my move because it doesn't move my King out of check? 
Since my move means that both Kings are checkmated, under the rules, no
one can move at this point?
