(Uses Shatranj version, K+G vs. K is mentioned in historical sources)

Note that the historical sources only mention that K + promoted Gold (= Rook) vs K is a win.

The HaChu engine allows Ln x P x Ln if no recapture is possible, which I am convinced is the historic rule. Historic sources give an example that makes it clear the situation after the capture that should be decisive ('hidden protector').
