Some of the wording could be improved:

gliding piece -> sliding piece

outer side -> opposit/most distant side

angle -> corner

multiplying of their move -> branching of their trajectory

To me the Bishop's move doesn't look very natural either. The fact that after an even number of steps each destination can be reached through two paths makes it essentially different from a normal slider, and more like a 'crooked' piece. But of course you can make the pieces move as you want; there doesn't need to be a justification.

In the explanation of the coordinates it would help if you would label 3 or 4 of the cells with their coordinates. That will be enough to get the idea; there is no need to label all cells.
