This hasn't come out as smoothly as I had hoped - the formatting goes all wonky when I try to post any tables here. Regardless, the basics get across.

"Dingbats" are just where you do the clip art version of "charades" to spell out a term without saying it. Just fun, man. And its not "tactic" - its A tack...Attack

Board control, pawnchain... Something about check, defence and draw. I give up
"Family check"? "Fischer time"?
Close, crazy. Not time though.

Ohh, Fischer clock?
And "family check" doesn't seem right.

@Here_Is_Plenty: Ah, I understand. That's what I thought of first, but I learned it as "family fork," so that kept me puzzled.
j) fischer clock; l) draw by repetition

well done....should have said "First!"
OK, then; FIRST! Thanks.
A) Family Check
B) Middlegame
C) Touch Move Rule
D) ?
E) Pawn Chain
F) ?
G) Windmill Tactic
H) Greek Gift
I) Sicilian Dragon
J) Fischer Clock
K) Mate in Five
L) Draw On Repetition
Couldn't get D or F. I think D is Red ______ Defense, but nothing clicked. F looks like "Board Changer", but again, it's a relatively unfamiliar term to me.
