Is there a name for such type of chess?

During reading a book there is a type of chess described. The description is following:

The rules of this game were not very different to those of standard chess – after the first move,that is - with the exception that castling was not permitted. The game started with each player being given his part of the board and his pieces. Then each player placed his pieces on his part of the board in any position that was permitted by the rules and – this is a vital point – in secrecy from his opponent. After that the two parts of the board were put together and the game began.
