Why mate? King can take Queen because Knight is pinned down... Check out this #chess game: Onyxss vs level_p90 - https://chess.com/live/game/4756534668

King cannot take queen because if he does, as soon as he takes the queen, the Knight will take the king before the white queen can take the black king. Checkmate is when, if the king moved, he would be taken before the other king.
