Graphical annotation of openings

Hi all,

As a very beginning player, I've found it fairly hard to find common "main lines" written/presented in a digestible way.  The chess.com Openings games are awesome (e.g. https://www.chess.com/openings/Dutch-Defense-Leningrad-Main-Line), but hard to reference "at a glance" unless you are quite fluent in the algebraic notation (i.e. "1.d4 f5 2.c4 Nf6 3.g3 g6 4.Bg2 Bg7 5.Nf3" is provided, and I know how to read it, but it doesn't help me get the idea without clicking through each move). Wikipedia and really the whole internet seems to do it the same way haha (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Defence).

I've been making myself these little annotated pictures:

and I find them tremendously helpful. Of course they have their limitations (if the same piece is moved twice it's hard/impossible to encode, etc.), but that doesn't seem to be the case almost ever, at least in the (short) lines a beginner might come across (London opening for white, etc.).

I guess my question is is there a reason a "notation/annotation" system like this does not exist? Am I doing myself a disservice by thinking about learning the lines like this? Or maybe strong, can I propose its adoption  ?

Thanks,

David

Good idea! U should improve it in the case when a piece makes several moves.
