I am playing black and I belive white checkmated me, but the system did not say it was. I am aware I was in a very bad position and I probbly should have resigned long before I did. But why would it not have been delcared a checkmate. I have an explaination on the board.

Only the squares that the king moves through though. In other words, you can still castle queenside if b1 or b8 is attacked.

white takes and its game over
Well, yeah, but that wasn't the question. The question was why the given position wasn't already checkmate, to which the answer is that a piece can block the check.
I know you won't believe this after all those wrong answers, but bishop to e6 blocks the check.
