yes, i think it is called Capablancas Chess
Years ago, when I corresponded briefly with John Gollon, he sent me some chapters of _Chess Variations: Then... and Now_, in which he described Chezz, which I believe was played on the same principles as Chess (the focus of the game is checkmating the king) but contained no standard chess pieces, using built-up pieces in place of each standard piece, I think. The chapters he showed me contained the greatknight, the superknight, the ultraknight, the masterknight; the greatqueen, the superqueen... and that was as far as he had written. Does anyone know any more about this?
