Are we to guess which one isn't? ;‌)

I posted that when my Restrictima was still WIP (but not private).

I think they're all ready now.

Well, this one might already have been published, but the Diagram in it is awful: the board background image is not properly aligned with the pieces, and furthermore already has (oriental style) pieces on it.

It could be that I just uncovered this, as I finally managed to fix the use of background images in the Interactive Diagram. It appears that someone had installed a style file that globally broke all Diagrams on the site by defining a background color in table row (<tr>) elements. Which covered the background image the Diagram used for the <table>. I now discovered that explicitly specifying the <tr> background color as 'inherit' is a way to counter-act that. So all background images are now visible again.

It's aligned now.

Indeed, this is better. But the background image still has the pieces in it, and in orthodox Xiangqi version (i.e. without Vaos). I would think this still is a fatal flaw...

The problem with adding diagonal pieces to Xiangqi, is that they are, for lack of a better word, not needed. That because the king has only orthogonal moves. So the diagonal pieces seem overpowered.

I like adding things that are not needed.

Isn't it because the defensive pieces only move diagonally that they are bad at defending against non-orthogonal attacks?

That actually, too.
