I'm trying to make map where if you die, it says in the chat that the player in question has died. For example, if a guy named BlehBlehBleh died, it would say in the chat, "BlehBlehBleh has died!" or something like that.
P.S I think it has something to do with scoreboards.

Tellraw allows for a "selector" part, which takes any selector you want and displays a name. You should do:
/tellraw @a {"text":"","color":"blue","extra":[{"selector":"@p"},{"text":" has won the game!"}]}
This will only work in 1.8 snapshots and above. There is no way to do this in older versions.
A follow up on @Eisler485's answer:
The difference between /say and /tellraw when trying to do the same output:
Remember that /tellraw has a lot of customisations. Just use data tags like "color":"dark_red" or "bold":"true".

Using selectors, you can easily say BlehBlehBleh died! With the say command
/say @a[deaths=1] has died!That will say any player with the score deaths = 1 has died. Then you would set his deaths to 0 to avoid a loop :) Also, detect IF a player has died first before doing the command. So order of the commands:scoreboard players test @a deaths 1Then
say @a[deaths=1] has died!scoreboard players set @a[deaths=1] deaths 0So you would be right thinking its about scoreboards.
Edit: To store someones name in a scoreboard just make an objective then type this in
scoreboard players set @a objectiveName 0That would make the score of every player set to 0. To add a deathcount just doscoreboard objectives set deaths deathCountI believe
