King can't move anywhere, because it is surrounded (smothered) by its own pieces and a knight delivers a check and the knight cannot be captured. In such a case it is also a check mate.

Styles of hash browns at Waffle House

Scattered – spread out on the grill (this is the default)
Smothered – with grilled onions
Covered – with melted cheese
Chunked – with diced ham
Diced – with tomatoes
Peppered – with jalapeños
Capped – with grilled mushrooms
Topped – with chili
