Yep, it's an anti-turton. I don't even know what that is but it is one of them. What's wrong with turtons anyway?

Damn, you're too good SG! Thanks for the explaination of anti-turtonism, I feel the need to incorporate it into my play now I understand the meaning. I like the idea of forcing my opponent to drive a large articulated lorry with the truck steering from the back - jackknife central.
Where has the name come from, some guy called Turton I guess?
I'm bored, who's got some more puzzles.....

I confess to reading this little snippet before solving, and yet the meaning of 'anti-turton' is not obvious...
