The name is tentative, as Mr. Seirwan (chess grandmaster) wants to credit the other person who developed it.
You can see it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seirawan_chess

This is his attempt to do Capablanca school on an 8x8 board. There was discussion of this on the IAGO website:

Anyhow, it looks promising. I am a bit iffy about you bringing a piece on a board the same turn as when you move a piece, however, but it is worth seeing how it pans out.

Funny thing on the way to being enthusiastic about this game. I got an initial email telling me they didn't want to be part of IAGO World Tour, and didn't like chess variants. IAGO may be doing its own version of gating chess on an 8x8 board.
