Description A centaur and a gryphon having a friendly game of chess.

I don't play, myself; so don't ask me what's happening on the board..... 7@=Q

While not specifically designated as such, I would classify this as something of an homage to the work of Heinrich Kley (1862 -1945)

No cheating, but I hope the gryphon wins.

Nice Work
The griffin reminds me of the one from Alice in Wonderland.

Yes, I think Tenniel's illustration will always remain the definitive Gryphon in my imagination.... 7@=e

Nice penwork here. Love how you use the density of the lines to create shadows.

It is hard to make out details but it looks like checkmate for black.
