I had thought the rule I put forward was clear: the move K-K8 has to be [otherwise] legal in order to win (and if it does, it wins instantly). Therefore, K-K8 can't be played if the King would be moving into check. I assumed the preset (as I had it) checked for that condition before moving on to checking for Thronemate. I've now stipulated to that effect in the preset's Rules section to make it absolutely clear to players; I've also stipulated that a Thronemate overrides what would otherwise be a stalemate result or the 50 move rule.

P.S.: I've tried using your new preset code (chess3) for chess to base my own latest code on, for my Throne Chess rules enforcing preset. My testing so far on the latest version of this preset suggests it correctly announces checks, and Thronemates. However, in case of the latter, when playing vs. myself in Test mode (after going into Edit mode), I still am able to continue to enter moves after Thronemate is announced - though the test play persists in stating that White has won in the gamescore box (i.e. not on the top of the screen) - I still don't know if this would be normal in Test mode if the preset is properly enforcing rules.
