without looking on the game but only looking on the moves I see a draw by the 50
move rule.

White can ask for a draw and stop the clock when it plays 118.Rh8 and claim a
draw by the 50 move rule.

I guess that Blueflame did not know to ask for a draw by the 50 move rule and
that this is the reason that it lost.
