is it allowed for a king to be checkmated without going through check
first? ie. the king is on the last row of the board nearest to the edge.
the king is on a square right next to a square that the queen could move
to diagonally. a rook is then placed on the same row as the king which is
checkmate. Then the king can only move two places to get out of check
which is the square within the queen's capture and one square towards the
rook.the king can only move to these two places as the other squares are
engaged. also none of the oppenents players can kill the rook or queen

is this example of checkmate still valid?
plese reply by putting the question and answer on FAQ as soon as possible
thank you
