I'm guessing he dislikes it so much he wants to attack it relentlessly?

Dear Dragon Fire,

Without your king, you can't win either.

only if you're down to a queen, single rook, or minor piece endgame vs lone king (no pawns on board)

For a win by checkmate, the person who first checkmates the enemy king wins. Dragon Fire's logic is impeccable here.

yes i must also agree with dragon fire. if you did not have your king but the opponent did, then the least you could get was a draw. this seems alright in my book.
