Indeed, I meant Superschaak, which in the English section of its website is referred to as Superchess. (It seems even the website has two domain names, superschaak.nl and superchess.nl.)
I don't think that being an 'open concept' should be a problem. 'Chess with Different Armies' is also an open concept, and it has been awarded the 'recognized' label.
That the description on this website might be sub-standard should not deter us from an intention to award the featured status to a deserving variant. It just means we have to improve the presentation, of push the author to improve the presentation, and perhaps provide some computer opponent if there is none. This is why I was pushing to do these nominations one or two weeks in advance, so that there is time to make the necessary changes and preparations before the variant actually gets featured.
The variants from your latest book are all good candidates. But they do belong to a family of closely related games, which was the theme of the book. So also here I suggest that we should not pick too many of those in a row, but regularly also pay attention to variants that involve more exotic rules that put them outside the scope of your book. (Such as double moving, atomic captures, immobilizers and move inducers, location-dependent moving, type-change on capture, capture-the-flag winning condition, asymmetry...)
As a specific candidate for next month, I propose Duck Chess. This has a description here with an Interactive Diagram; it can be played on-line at chess.com, there is a WinBoard/XBoard version that supports it, and several engines that can be loaded in WinBoard/XBoard to play it against the computer.
BTW, there appears an attention box on that page that says it is written by its inventor, but this is not true. I don't know what triggered this.
Perhaps I should also have mentioned as a future suggestion:
King of the Hill
This is another variant that can be played (and is reasonably popular) on chess.com, and a good representative of variants with an alternate winning condition.
