Generalized Tait conjecture IV on amphicheiral links

Let $L$ be an amphicheiral link in $S^3$, meaning that an orientation-reversing homeomorphism of $S^3$ maps each component of $L$ to a component of $L$, possibly reversing orientations and permuting the components. Its minimal crossing number is the least number of crossings among all diagrams representing $L$. Generalized Tait conjecture IV. The minimal crossing number of an amphicheiral link is even. This generalizes the corresponding conjectural statement for amphicheiral knots; the paper presents it as a proposed extension of Tait's conjecture IV, while the supplied source gives no resolution.
