Answers.Text: The rules on this vary. Most tournaments if it's noticed within 10 moves, then you go n back and correct the illegal move and the offender gets a time penalty. Doing it multiple times leads to a loss.  For rapid/blitz events its an automatic loss.

Comments.Text: The basic principle of chess is once you're checkmated, it doesn't matter what you do because the opponent will kill your king in the next move. However, by long standing convention, we don't play it till that point and consider the game finished when checkmated. So, in accordance with this principle, if someone left his king in check that would mean you would kill his king in the next move. To get around all this, we just make those moves illegal.

Title: Check and checkmate on following moves
ThreadText: # Check and checkmate on following moves
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-07-15)
  
  I was playing chess with a buddy, and I put him in check. On the following move, without moving his king out of check, he moved a rook to put me in checkmate.
  
  My questions are as follows:
  
  1. Can he do that and leave his king still in check?
  2. Even though I'm in checkmate, can I take his king to win the game?
  3. Is checkmate an automatic win (meaning no moves can follow), or can I still "try"?
  4. If it was an illegal move, where do we resume?
