It helps to have a reference on hand that uses the same graphics as the person is playing with. Providing this is a common practice for both Game Courier and other Jocly games, and the article on the game does not do this.

The Jocly page on Cavalier Chess does not have that... Or Grand Cavalier Chess. Or Grotesque Chess. Or Univers Chess...

It might be fine for a modest variant with only one or two regular fairy pieces, such as Capablanca Chess. But it is an illusion that anyone would be able to play a game as complex as Tenjiku Shogi without first thoroughly studying the rules, just by having a 'cheat sheet' at hand.
