My 2005-03-30 Comment on the Shatranj page ended with: Also every Shatranj related ZRF that I have tested will record a 'bare king victory' without giving a chance to make a final move resulting in a 'two bare kings draw'.

The good news for Shatranj fans is: Peter Aronson's ZRF for his variant Gothic Isles Chess uses a complicated coding to correctly handle the rule: 'Bare King counts as a win, provided that your King cannot be bared on the very next move.'

Noteworthy that the Modern Shatranj Comments section continued to discuss both bare king victory and stalemate victory in 2017/2018. Diagrams were included.
