I knew about the existence of this variant in 2009 when John Smith launched an Open Invitation for playing it under the "Open Chess" name. I don't know why he picked out such a name instead of the original, more proper, "Relativistic Chess" name.
I became fascinated with the variant and decided to work for making it more known. Thus, like a first step, invited to Nicholas Wolff and Jochen Mueller to playtest it.
