Under the new pubserver patch:

        (connect with two clients)

        (first client)
        /load 1055
        /take myself

        (second client)
        /take other_player
        /start
        /surrender

will give you an easy win in a game that was abandoned, crashed or
temporarily suspended for the night (eg long-turn).
