I added some external links to the bottom of the page and published this.

Yes, please feel free to edit the text as English is not my native language and sometimes it is difficult for me to convey some subtleties of the game. Thank you!

This page is mostly ready. It could use some links to the pages that the preset has a link to. I just played a game online. For my last move, I rolled a 1, a 2, and two 4s. First, I moved the Pawn to the last rank to promote it to a Rook, then I moved it to capture a Rook, and again to capture the last King. It never got any of my Kings, maybe because I was moving them to safety when I could.

Everything is clearly written in the rules

I double checked on that, and it was not true. So, I rewrote your rules to make them clear on the questions I asked you.

Everything is clearly written in the rules - you either follow the indications of the dice or you don't. If you roll a 2, then you may or may not play a knight. If you rolled 2-2-2-2, then you can make four moves with such type of chess piece as knight. Suppose you played one time with a knight from a combination of 2-2-2-2, now you can again go with the same knight or any other, or you can say pass for the remaining three indications of the dice. In any case, for each indication of a dice, you play a certain type of chess piece or pass. If a 1 is rolled, you cannot pass and you must play a pawn unless it is blocked.

How precisely do dice rolls determine what you can move? If you don't move every piece indicated by the dice, can you move more than one piece of another type you rolled? If so, could you even make multiple moves with the same piece? If not, could you make multiple moves with the same piece if more than one die had the same number?

I made all the necessary changes

I'd suggest to move the link to your blog into this page, and delete the external link page.

You don't say here, but from playing one of the versions linked in your blog, it appears the same piece can be moved multiple times. That's worth saying explicitly, since that is one of the main things that differentiates some multi-move variants.
