In Stewart Culin's 'Korean Games With Notes on the Corresponding Games of
China and Japan' he says:

'The king on the losing side is allowed yet another privilege. If he is
the only piece on his side, and if his moving would greatly endanger him,
he is allowed, as the equivalent of a move, to turn over and remain in his
original position.'

So passing is only allowed if the king is the only remaining piece. This
is even stricter than Roleigh Martin's rules. So now I don't know what
to believe. /Mats
