Beginner's Material
My About.com beginner's material went through two iterations. The first cut had all diagrams and explanations on one page (single page). The second cut had a separate page per diagram (multi page). Here is the original material on Archive.org for the rules of chess.
- The Rules: How to Play Chess; How to set up a chess board, move the pieces, castle, capture, checkmate, more! : Single page Multi page
- Introduction to the Rules of Chess : Single page Multi page
- How to Set Up a Chess Board : Single page Multi page
- How the Chess Pawn Moves : Single page Multi page
- How the Chess Knight Moves : Single page Multi page
- How the Chess Rook Moves : Single page Multi page
- How the Chess Bishop Moves : Single page Multi page
- How the Chess Queen Moves : Single page Multi page
- How the Chess King Moves : Single page Multi page
- How to Castle : Single page Multi page
- How to Capture En Passant : Single page Multi page
- How to Promote a Pawn : Single page Multi page
- How to Check, Checkmate, and Stalemate : Single page Multi page
Here is the material for what I call 'The Tools of Chess'. With the exception of draws, these concepts aren't rules, but they are fundamental to understanding and enjoying the game.
- The Tools: Basic Chess Concepts; Here's what every chess player should know. : Single page Multi page
- Chess Notation : Single page Multi page
- Chess Draws : Single page Multi page

For the rewritten version, I'll use the single page format. It's more friendly for the visitor; there is less clicking and printing is easier.
