I have contacted the creator of Cardinal Super Chess to know the details of her rules (castling, initial P's move, promotion). She replied "My board and innovations are copywritten. I am not revealing all my rules as yet, until I produce it. I have some special rules. I know you understand". To be frank, no, I don't understand the need to hide rules of a chess variant. But I respect that choice. Whatever, I think I have my answer, it is very unlikely that Devingt Chess has been copying Cardinal SC, as I was suspecting knowing its author, quite poorly informed about chess variants.

Her game was already produced in the 90s, and if people don't know how to play it, they won't be playing it. Anyway, if these games happen to be identical, it looks like the Devingt Chess inventor will get the credit for the game, and the Cardinal Super Chess inventor will not. My experience, though, is that people who independently make similar games usually don't make identical games.
