Where can I find any description of this on the internet? Googling only brings me to your two positings here.
I do get hits on 'Chinese Dark Chess', however. But this is not the game you describe, although it has similar aspects (it is played on a 4x8 board).
As I have mentioned in a previous post "Reveal Chess - Chinese chess variant", the starting position is really very random, very much more so than a Chess960 game. In fact there are 11,596,762,604 starting positions - so many that every human being on earth can own 1656 of them !! If it is for pure recreation, this produces very unsymmetrical games and luck plays a greater part in the outcome.
