Option Chess

Some time ago I came across an anti-computer engine chess variant called Option Chess, posted on chessbase.com:

I've communicated with the inventor, who made it publicly available for anyone to hold events with no licensing issues. 

I've tried it out and it is incredible. I would like to know if chess.com could make this variant one of the ones that could be played on the site?

There's a few slight rule changes from that chessbase.com article, which came about from game testing. I can send anyone at chess.com these rule changes, and also a document with 2 complete annotated games played by the inventor and another player. The annotations give great insight into the depth and beauty of this game!

I for one would love to be able to play this online, and I would love to see this become even bigger than chess960 as the most popular variant next to standard chess.
