I know that at companies that I've worked at have been quite paranoid about disclosure, so it would have been interesting to me if something had changed here. On another note - I don't understand why you wouldn't protect your piece design itself given the amount of investment that you have made there. I guess that this somehow all works out in your business plan. Anyways given the amount of effort you have apparently put into this I wish you luck. There are so many variants that it would be interesting to hear about how you chose to investigate Capablanca's variant, and then alter it.
