"Cannot be played on" is too vague. I suppose you mean "cannot be moved to or passed through".

I could not find the Amazonrider in the Piececlopedia at all. So why is it marked as "different from Piececlopedia"?

The description of the Queen is needlessly cumbersome. Much better would be to just say "slides in all 8 directions, but not further than 3 steps". That the Play-Test Applet generated such a cumbersome description is due to the cumbersome XBetza definition of its move in the Interactive Diagram; this could have simply been Q3.

If the Pawns's double push is not an initial move, but can be played from anywhere (and there is no e.p. capture), you might as well write the Pawn move as fW2fmF. (Or, equivalently fR2fmF.)

Note that n for non-jumping on a W or F is meaningless, and is therefore interpreted as something else. Namely creation of e.p. rights on the square of origin. Which doesn't hurt here, since no piece can e.p. capture, but still is strange / confusing.
