I now also ported Embassy, Univers, Modern Carrera's, Grotesque and Grand Cavalier Chess to the CVP Jocly install. This puts all variants that were embedded by the old method in the category 'works in Jocly, but link in the overview page points to non-working page'.

I suppose these pages could be made working again, by replacing the script that is there now by an iframe invoking Jocly with the proper ?game=... argument (like the Courier Chess page already does). I wonder if this makes sense, though, as this would still only cover a small fraction of the chess variants that Jocly now supports. I understand that these 'relay pages' served the purpose of exhibiting the illustrated rule descriptions contained in Jocly, but not accessible through the control.html demo that we use to run Jocly.

But I think a better solution would be to modify the control.html to make that info accessible; on my own website I am already experimenting with a button for summoning the Jocly rule descriptions in a separate browser window. We could then abandon the /play/jocly page we have now, and replace it by an alphabetical list that links directly to control.html for all supported games.
