I once named my chess variant Spider Chess. Should I rename it to Spider XiangQi?

"Spider-Chess! Spider-Chess!
"Does whatever a..." OK, never mind.

I think the name's fine, if you don't mind twerps like me making connections like that.

Besides the noted name conflict (in fairness hard to spot, as Haru's game of the same name (hyphen aside) is effectively a footnote to the main game described on the linked page), it'd be good to have a textual description of the Spider's move, besides the diagram.

I wonder a little bit about having so many of such a powerful piece in terms of potential decisiveness concerns

@Haru: Spider XQ may well be a more appropriate/specific name for your game in any case ;‌) Esp. with Qu'erquesite XQ alongside it

After looking at the alphabetical index, I could not find a name conflict, so I chose this name.
As far as the textual description of the spider is concerned, I have added it - I hope I have done it well.
