You seem to have misunderstood what 'history of the game' means. The first paragraph of your history section would qualify, and no one would have objected if that had been in the introduction, and left it at that. But then you continue with a long-winded story about difficulties of finding opponents, how some people unkown to the reader called it in Spanish, and then you wander off discussing the Alfonso Manuscript. None of that qualifies as history of this chess variant any more than discussions of the Big Bang or Darwin's theory of evolution.

BTW, the board coordinates you use in the images seems more like a parody than a serious notation, and I think that alone would be enough to disqualify your article for publication on this website. Please use normal algebraic coordinates, like everyone does.

And I agree with Fergus that except for the first sentence everything you write in the Pieces section does not belong there, and does not even belong in the article anywhere. Discussions about music with links to websites that present it are simply spam.
