I think the game itself is interesting and we should publish it if we can reach agreement.  I am personally OK with all the stuff not strictly relevant to playing the game staying, so long as it is all in the "Notes" section at the bottom.  It is certainly possible to make sub-sections therein.

For the introduction, I think everything can stay up to and including "The rule is relatively forced capture, as it will be explained in the Rules section."

The Setup and Pieces sections should only contain a single sentence each indicating that they are the same as in orthodox Chess.

The Rules section is where one learns how to play the game.  It should contain all the rules surrounding Huffing.  At the completion of the rules section, one should know how to play the game, but little more (e.g., not a description of tactics.)

Then, as far as I'm concerned, all the rest can go in the Notes section, organized into whatever groups appropriate.  No one needs to read it if they're not interested.  I would suggest putting the tactics stuff first though, as that will interest many people here.  After that, the history and the rest, which I seriously doubt many will read through.  I agree with Fergus that much of this has the feel of a vanity project.  But as long as it is organized well, such that a person can learn how to play the game quickly and can then decide whether to continue reading, I'm personally OK with it.
