I saw one game quickly become a lone white king against six black pieces. The king eventually captured three of them, and then the game gave up after some number of fruitless moves.

Even with that advantage, black couldn't randomly stumble across checkmate.

Are you sure you didn't end with a stalemate?

That's what I got and I think once you get to the end, a stalemate with an imbalance of pieces on one side may be the most likely.
