I believe there's no rule which applies specifically to one side only
having the king. What exists is a rule that says that it's a draw if 50
moves (for each side) go without a) any piece being taken and b) any pawn
advancing. In other words, everytime a piece is taken *OR* a pawn advances,
you start counting from 0 (to 50) again.

Other people, please correct me if I'm wrong...
