Aside from the grammatical issues that have been raised wrt some of your previous submissions, I have the following comments on the page:

  • If only pawns can promote (as according to the Pieces section), why do you include rules and notation for promoted pieces?
  • As in some of your other submissions, the choices of name and image are sometimes confusing: in particular you here have, assuming the notation in the Setup section is correct, a piece that moves like a western Bishop represented by a different symbol, while the symbol for the bishop represents a piece with a different move entirely. (Calling the angle‐mover an elephant, while not unpardonable give its ancestry and usage in other languages, is also odd given that that name is more common for what you call the Elephant General; ‘archer’is perhaps also an odd name for a piece with only short‐range moves)
  • The Rules section (Gen. Rule 4) mentions two lions but neither non‐royal general. I assume that's a redrafting error?
  • Have you played this much? If not, the Guide section is probably not much use, especially since the only really potentially meaningful bits are the piece values (which I suspect are unlikely to be very accurate) and the assertion about tempo. I'd suggest you either add more detailed information or simply remove that bit entirely — play analysis is ofc always nice to have, but plenty of pages get by without and imo tokenism isn't of much value in this respect.
