It is about showcasing some of the best and best-supported games on our site.
This sentence is slightly ambiguous, as it is not clear whether the requirement is that the game should be presented on our site and have the best conceivable support in general (to which our presentation then refers), or whether it is only the support on our site that counts. The latter is not really compatible with the description that is now on the Featured Variants page:
The game should have a history of being played, even if only on Game Courier. Concept games that even the inventor hasn't played will not be accepted.
It should be playable by online correspondence and with a computer program, generally meaning that it should be programmed for Game Courier and Zillions of Games, but being available on other sites or with other programs will do. Basically, if we're going to draw attention to a game, we should also provide opportunities to play it.
It seems that "even if only on GC" should be replaced by "on GC", and that we'd better delete the emphasized phrase in the 2nd requirement.
BTW, it is strange that special status is given here to ZoG, which is a commercial program, that most readers will not have. While free programs often exist that do the same job far better (e.g. in terms of playing strength). Offering a ZRF file here through a download link, but requiring people to buy ZoG from another site is not really an improvement over requiring them to download something from another website for free.
So I'd rather say here that "free programs to play it should be available, but being programmed for ZoG will do"...
