lol. Thanks McGoohan. I travelled only with my cellphone but not my laptop. Unfortunately I can't post diagrams with just my cell. If I travel again I'll bring my laptop.
Our move is:
7...Kh10

The infinite plane isn't blasphemy. It's the Griffon that's blasphemy!!!
(Griffon = bishop + knight + hawk)
In mythhology it's a giant bird that can attack elephants and fly away with them. That's what it feels like in this game!!!

MrHappysmile, welcome to the game! 
Steelers1863 joined black a while ago. He hasn't been active but he's still on team black so it's officially 3 against 3. Here's the team members update:
White: Musketeerchess2017, McGoohan, MrHappysmile.
Black: Vickalan, Mayapira, Steelers1863.
We'll post our next move (from Black) tomorrow (waiting for member replies now).
We play:
9...K(h12)
Hi Zied, This is one of the craziest chess opening I've ever played. It will be interesting if a Griffon and a Falcon alone can checkmate a fleeing king. Please wait a day or two while our team calculates our move.
You guys are right. You have a mate in two. So we resign. You played well. Here is the final board position:
It's no fun to lose. But I liked the team format. Can we play again with the same teams? We can play same game (we take white this time), or think about playing with different pieces.

Hi friends
I do not agree and have three points:
1. This is not a checkmate! The king can flee to f11.

In my opinion it is NOT possible!
This would be a theoretical checkmate position, only with the Griffon and Falcon on an Infinite Plane:
But this position with a double check cannot be achieved, because otherwise the king is already in check.
Can someone of you show me any different checkmate position only with the Falcon and the Griffon ?
If not, then I think that it is not possible at all only with the Falcon and Griffon in the middle of the board to checkmate the king.

3. Grg14 has not yet been played and the black team should not give up.
I would like to continue this chessgame. vickalan, do you agree? Then my next move would be 11. Qg1 to (-4, –9)

We don't give up. I think vickalan will keep playing but even if he doesn't I will keep playing black.
I think move 11 was:
11.Gr(g14)+ ...K(f11)
11.Gr(g14)+ ...K(f11)
You said move 11 is Qg1 to (-4, -9) but I think that is move 12.
So this is where we are:
10.Gr(g11)+ ...K(g12)
11.Gr(g14)+ ...K(f11)
12.Q(g1)-(-4,-9) ...(our move now)
10.Gr(g11)+ ...K(g12)
11.Gr(g14)+ ...K(f11)
12.Q(g1)-(-4,-9) ...(our move now)
vickalan or I will reply again soon.😼
Yes, thanks McGoohan for showing us that there is actually not a forced mate, and not accepting black resigning. White did not play 11.Gr(g14).
This is the status:
1.F(+3,-3) h5
2.Gr(f4) Gr(j6)
3.F(3,-1) k5
4.Gr(j3) Grx(j3)+
5.kxj3 Grd6
6.Fx(k5+) K(h9)
7.Grx(i7)+ K(h10)
8.Grxg8+ K(h11)
9.Fa(e11)+ K(h12)
10.Gr(g11)+ K(g12)
11.Qg1-(-4,-9)
2.Gr(f4) Gr(j6)
3.F(3,-1) k5
4.Gr(j3) Grx(j3)+
5.kxj3 Grd6
6.Fx(k5+) K(h9)
7.Grx(i7)+ K(h10)
8.Grxg8+ K(h11)
9.Fa(e11)+ K(h12)
10.Gr(g11)+ K(g12)
11.Qg1-(-4,-9)
I'll update the diagram tomorrow (like McGoohan's diagram but with board coordinates) and we will keep playing.
Zied and team white - we'll be back soon to play our move. Please just wait a short time. Thanks.
