No, I installed Jocly here, and I didn't clone it from your website.

Then that is not the version that we actually use. Because the latter one contains lots of variants that are otherwise only available on my website (e.g. Tori Shogi).

Very good. Is there any way we can get thumbnails for them to show up?

Yes, copy those to the directory play/jocly/dist/browser/games/chessbase, with names like cavalier-thumb.png etc.

Like with Game Courier, we should have separate web pages for each game playable on it. This lets us index the pages, which lets us show them in search results, post comments to them, and include a menu item in the Play menu for games playable on Jocly. We could add more pages for the other Chess variants supported by Jocly so that they get the same benefits.

Well, it seems pointless to me, and needlessly clutter the alphabetical index. As a user I would prefer to find each variant only once there, to get to everything we have about it when I follow that link. The GC presets, Zillions file and Jocly applet could conveniently be accessed through links in the article that explains the rules. Having to go through extra intermediated pages is just annoyingly cumbersome, and needless duplication of information.

But as long as you make these extra pages, it is fine with me.
