checkmate - A move that places the king in a position from which there is no escape or defense, resulting in victory. Complete defeat.
stalemate - A position in which no other pieces can move and the king cannot move without going into check.
Life as a Metaphor for Chess
Here is the distinction between checkmate and stalemate. One means “defeated” while the other means “unable to escape.” If you are in a corner with a gun pointed at you, you are checkmated. If you are in a closet and can’t get out without being shot, you are stalemated.

إليكترا هي بنت أكاممنون (ملك اليونان بالإلياذة) جانت تحب ابوها كلش وتكره امها كلش (ولهذا فرويد استخدمها كإسم للعقدة)... إليكترا قنعت أخوها ان يقتل أمهم وعشيقها بعد مقتل أكاممنون، إنتقاماً لأبوها.
