Was trying to checkmate in the middle of the board but had my queen too close.

In these situations I just keep checking, and making sure every move is a check to avoid stalemate. Mate in 1 or Mate in 49 I don’t care I just want the win.
Sorry chess noob here. How is this not mate?
The king is not in check, but he can not move either.
Thank you!
Not threatened in check by any piece but can’t make a legal move so it’s a forced draw
Same, I often get too eager to close to close the deal and end up drawing.
I recommend you study “Silman’s Complete Endgame Course From Beginner to Master”
Haha, you said pee-tard.
