My plan is to put the supporting links in square brackets to separate them from the name, and add a legend explaining what .

Okay, you could try that.

Under the current rules for featured variants, I'm not sure if Seireigi qualifies. It satisfies rules 1, 2, and 4 easily, but I'm on the fence for if a "fairly strong computer" clause in rule 3 is satisfied. It depends on whether you consider Jocly a fairly strong computer oppoenent (Ludii plays terribly, so no need to consider it).

I just played my first game of Seireigi against Jocly, and I beat it easily. It played very poorly, which is to be expected given that this is coded in JavaScript, and Shogi-like games are already more difficult for a computer program to play thanks to drops greatly increasing the moves to consider.
