Finished playtest #1 of Chess in Hell this morning by myself (chess brother folded and left me to it, can't blame him), and this is what I ended up with. The only thing omitted from view here is a neutral piece way over on b4.

It turns out the possible endings are lose, kill adversary, trap adversary, or... trap yourself. One may opt as a last resort to safely imprison oneself in Hell, out of reach of the Adversary. I'm not sure if this is done by simply resigning in this position or if you should be able to pass, which would be helpful in bad endings like this. To be clear, this is not a win.
