lateral thinking – A strange chess variant
Alice and Bob are playing some weird variant of chess. They somehow arrived at the following position:

Alice, with the white pieces, plays: King f4
Bob, playing black responds: Queen g4
Alice: Knight from f5 to h6
So what are they actually playing? More importantly, what should Bob do on his next move?
Hint 1:
Alice and Bob would prefer to shift all the pieces on the board slightly but unfortunately that is not allowed in standard chess notation.
