I noticed that the original rules for gating were wrong.  They have been changed:
(a) Gating: These pieces may enter the game via gating (piece in reserve
comes in and takes start space of piece that started in back row, as that
piece vacates its start space). [Mutable]

Gating is NOT meant as a way to swap pieces out.  It is meant as a way to enter a new piece into the start space of a piece as that piece vacates it.

By the way, I have been comments IAGO Chess is not original, does what has been tried before, is to restrictive, and also too ambitious.  I was also told I needed to do more of a 'baby step' before attempting this.  Please understand that this is meant as a framework for future work, and I am open to suggestions people would have for it.  It is also meant as a way for IAGO to classify chess variants so we can have different champions over the games.

In other words here, it is meant as an incremental solution to the needs of IAGO and the chess variant community.  I suggest people to PLEASE input here with your ideas.  Don't just blow this off as nothing special.  But, that is your choice in the matter.  I will add that I am trying to get a Zillions adaptation done.
