Etymologically, checkmate means "the king is dead". However, the king has not "died" in the game of chess for a long time. In fact, the king is the only piece that cannot even be captured, although checkmate finishes the game and, strictly speaking, can be considered as a "death" for the king.
If the player deliberately touches any of his pieces, he must move it, provided he can make a valid move with it. If he deliberately touches an opponent's piece, it must be captured, if capture is legally possible. This rule applies to all formal chess competitions.
