I don’t think we added the king restoration of the time thief (It’s not part of the basic rules) So, that’s an illegal move

Ahh, guess it is checkmate then, would have tried to defend if I knew that

Good game, guys. I will post the official victory to the tournament thread.
Hey, @VM_LeaderAbhyudaya exploited one of the f4,g4 moments in this configuration! (I think there was another one, but it escapes me at the moment.) Nice work, dude/dudette!
@Puzzles a better move would have been 2.Be1=M. Be2=M could also do. 
I put four Bishops there for you to have wreaked benefit from it!
I'm sad to see this match end so soon (I spent a lot of time creating this setup!!), but yay to the player who exploited the quite easy checkmate. We have them littered all over the setup of this board, as we have one or two hidden in standard FIDE chess.
Sorry @Puzzles
This is quite an interesting and unique bulldog setup, so if both of you agree I would like to start over and play unrated.

@VM_LeaderAbhyudaya, if @Puzzles were to have in fact played 2.Be1=M (rather than 2.Bfx6), what move would you have played next? 
This would be the conditional position after such White's move is played (from the perspective of your view as Black):
