In this position white player (Clint) resigns his game against Allan Mertner. White player could continue in game with move FORLORN, but black has letter F and after his move FORLORN is game finished. By the way in this position has winner 11 stones less than loser ! It is interesting but in game #1388597 had winner 23 stones less than loser !

Longest word was played in this position. White (Nagy Fathy  - winner of group 1 in second league) found word MOISTURIZERS. The same player found in another game word DYOTHELITIC. And I lost only game with labradors - when he found word COROLLARIES.
