Capture is escaping (if capturing with the king) or blocking (if another piece is capturing the checking piece)
What is checkmate?

Chess players use blocking to mean blocking. Capturing the checking piece is different.

I also have an opinion about when its checkmate in a few positions
I feel like this shouldn't be checkmate and they should be able to check with the rook and check the king if you take my king I take yours and if you escape check I take the queen and will win the game later I feel like you should be able to keep checking the king in chess until eventually theres no checks.
Then the king would have already been captured, the game would have been over. Could be a variant tho

What’s the point of demotivating others? You’re not even rated 1000, let alone 500. Many high-rated chess players in this forum are willing to help newcomers like this person. It seems you’re the only one trying to talk down to them when your own Elo is almost as low as theirs.
Well, if you king is in check, and have no legal moves, that is called checkmate ansd you lose.

#18 that’s really funny!
You say “If you take my king I take yours”
but I took your king first!!!! So I win!!!!!
Imagine in tic tac toe, you have a 2 in a row, but I can just make a 2 in a row of my own and “if you make 3 in a row I do too”
Is that really how you play tic tac toe?!
If not, why should that be how you play chess?

#13 that’s not a reachable position. You can’t have more than 8 extra pieces than what you start with (via promotion)
You have 13 extra. (10 extra rooks + 3 extra queens)

That actually is a reachable position. You have to go to an empty board and manually add those extra pieces

that's good, but here's a puzzle:

or capture missed that one.
