It sounds good to me. It also sounds like you are taking on a very big job
tantamount, almost, to writing an entire chess book yourself.

This is page 6 and page 7 from the chess book I am working on. Is this
adequate for the pictures?

HOW THE PIECES MOVE
The Bishop
Each player has two Bishops. The one that starts next to the King is called
the King's Bishop and the one that starts next to the Queen is the Queen's
Bishop.
Bishops move diagonally across the board in any direction. They can move
any number of spaces in each turn, but they cannot jump over other pieces.
This picture shows how the Bishop can move.
[Picture with a white bishop at d2 and green arrows showing that the bishop
can move backwards (diagonally) to c1 or e1, or forwards (diagonally) to
c3,
b4, a5 or e3, f4, g5 or h6. There is also a red (black) bishop at d6 with
green arrows showing it can move backwards to c7 or b8, or to e7 or f8, or
forwards
to c5, b4 or a3, or to e5, f4, g3 or h2.]
Puzzle: Can the White Bishop capture any of the pieces on this board?*
(Answer page 60)
[Picture: white bishop on d4. White knight on c5. Black knight on b2. Black
pawn on b6. Black rook on g6. Black bishop on g3.]
If there is a piece of its own colour in the way, the Bishop has to stop
and can go no further along that diagonal.
If there is an enemy piece in the way, like the Knight shown here, the
Bishop can capture it.

HOW THE PIECES MOVE
The Knight
Each player has two Knights: a King's Knight and a Queen's Knight. The
Knight is the only chess piece which can jump over other pieces. It can jump
over
pieces of its own colour, or over enemy pieces.
The Knight can move in any direction, forwards, backwards or to either
side, but it always has to move three squares at a time.
Wherever the Knight moves it must go two squares in one direction and then
one square to the side, as shown above. It can make this move in any
direction,
as shown here.
[Picture: Black knight on e5, moving two squares to e7 and then either one
square to d7 or one square to f7; moving two squares to c5 and then one
square
to c6 or to c4; moving two squares to e3 and then one square to d3 or one
square to f3; or moving two squares to g5 and then one square to g6 or one
square
to g4.]
Since the knight can jump over other pieces, it can move at the beginning
of the game before the pawns in front of it move.
If the Knight lands on the square of an enemy piece, that piece is captured
and removed from the board.
