Instead of the win-conditon being the presence of the King within a
particular zone, make the win-conditon also the absence of the King on the
rest of the field.

This is your current condition:

  (win-condition (White Black) (absolute-config King (promotion-zone)))

Make it:

(win-condition (White Black) 
(and
(absolute-config King (promotion-zone))
(absolute-config (not King) (not-promotion-zone))
)
)

You will have to define the not-promotion-zone, which will be all the
cells that are not part of the normal promotion-zone.

The Zillions engine will now have the 'urge' to move that King into the
promotion-zone.
