Has anyone heard of the Tino Road Position and if so what is it and what
does it look like?
Thanks

As Bob says, this position is the "specialty of the upbeat Australian
expert Tino Lechich. For many years Tino took on all comers in this
position allowing them to be Black, White, or to switch back and forth.
Tino usually won from both sides!"
Then the book gives some of Tino's tips (an A4 page and a half).
I hope this helps.
