Beren the 32nd: The game was played with a very long thinking time. Nevertheless the time moreover had been extended by automatic vacation. When additionally noticing, that Pythagoras played other games during that 'vacation', I preferred to terminate that game by resigning. Even though his behaviour is conform to brainking rules, I am not motivated to continue games under such conditions. So you have the chance to gather points by following his example.
