If you don't show the position where this happened, there is no way
telling what the problem was. Normally XBoard corrects all ins for a side
with a bare King to a draw, and then appends this "but bare king" phrase
to the result message. This is mainly meant for wins by forfeit (e.g.
flagging), as in normal chess it should not be possible to checkmate when
you have only a king. (There was a problem in variant atomic, where it
actually quite usual that a king is the only piece left after you explode
the opponent king with your last pieces, but this was fixed in 4.9.0.)

So was there a bare king? Was it a checkmate? Who was checkmated?
