I agree with Paul, the entry deadline and when they're posted by fergus afterwards are two completely unrelated issues. and if you're really interested in fairness, to say that extending the deadline for certain people can hardly be considered fair - people who submit later will simply gain extra time to playtest and improve their game, while those of us who made an extra effort to make the deadline may not have been looking at our game for the past week because we considered the deadline closed. my feeling is that if you can't come up with a chess variant in 7 months (the amount of time available to submit), then you can wait til next year's contest. i'm sure there'll be more coming.
