Is it a draw if both sides have only their general left?
These answers restate the rules implemented by our open-source engine, which follows the WXF laws and is regression-tested against the official 110-diagram repetition casebook. Where an answer refers to a specific position, that position lives on the linked reference page, where the build verifies it against the engine before publishing.
Direct answer
Yes, a dead draw. Neither general can ever attack the other — the flying general rule keeps them off a shared open file, and they can never become adjacent. With no other material on the board there is no way to construct a check, let alone a mate.
Nearly-bare positions are more interesting
One general plus a single piece is where the real questions are. A lone chariot wins. A lone horse or lone cannon does not. A cannon with an advisor does, because the advisor supplies the screen.
Those distinctions decide whether a simplification is winning or throwing a win away.
The trap to avoid
Trading down to a lone cannon against a bare general. It looks like winning material and is in fact agreeing a draw, because a cannon with nothing to jump cannot even give check.

A single chariot, using your own general's help.
