It isn't but I don't play chess and therefore can't help read what the board says. I am going to try and look for a Mike Pompeo tweet that he had with a chess board and see if it is the same.
So took a screenshot and sent to a friend who plays. They immediately sent back that this was checkmate from the white player. Checkmate in q posts 4281 and 523
That literally has to be a joke. There's been only two moves by each player. The black King is very clearly not even in check, or even remotely close to a check move.

Very much not checkmate!
The white pieces have more privilege that they have to check, mate.

Black moved pawn two spaces.
White moved bishop.
Black moved knight.

Wrong piece on position D5. Powerful opening move. It's the most sought after position on the board. You dont play..obviously.
Power opening.... move to D5.
