Can anyone tell me what the '39' stands for?

All possible 7x7 setups were inspected, and this setup is #39 of 78 found:

Is it no longer possible to play Ard Ri on this site with the starting position in the traditional cross? The 'invite for a new game' page lists Ard Ri in only the '39' variant.

Game balance was measured to +1.73 so it was taken out.
But it's reinserted now so you can try it.

Thanks. Even though the traditional setup has a worse balance statistic, I feel it has a nicer start position.
