A pinned piece in Chess is a piece that cannot move or it would result in the more valuable piece behind it being captured by the opponent. The pinned piece is not allowed to move due to the risk of exposing the more valuable piece to capture. This tactical situation limits the effectiveness of the pinned piece and can be strategically advantageous for the player pinning the piece.

Can a king checkmate with a king?

No. It is logically impossible to checkmate the opposing king with a pinned piece. Checkmate can occur only after a player moves one of his pieces to put the opposing king in check. Since the "pinned piece" is pinned and cannot move, it is incapable of checkmating the other king. In the case of discovered check it is possible for a pinned piece to checkmate. It is possible nevertheless to mate with a direct check using a piece that becomes pinned as a result of the move. Here is a position, with white to move: k7/7R/K3b3/1Q6/8/8/8/8 (for those who do not understand this antiquated notation, white has Ka6, Rh7, Qb5, and black has Ka8, Be6) white black 1 Rh8 † Bc8 † 2 Qb7†† Black, on move 1, blocks white's rook check along the last rank. In doing so he checks white's king on a6, and it is a legitimate check, even though the bishop is pinned. When white then interposes the queen to block the bishop check, the black king is in a mated position. His bishop cannot capture the pinned queen, because it is itself pinned! And the white queen does in fact threaten the black king because she would capture it before the black bishop had opportunity to capture the white king.
