There have been many variants of Capablanca over the centuries, athough mostly in the last 20 years, probably about a dozen.  But that is no indication of popularity, as most were played little if ever.  In my opinion, the issue is that the game just isn't very good.  It is a logical extension, but that doesn't mean it will be a great game, even if you do find the perfect arrangement of pieces.
