Howard,

A couple of moves have come in.  And it does appear to be a draw.
As expected, 47...Rf5 48.Re8.  Now Hiarcs will play 48...f3.
Fritz looks to be in better shape, but really can't do much.
If 49.Re7, f2 seems to win, as does 49.Kxe3 f2.  So white has to
play 49.Nc4, preventing f2 for the moment.

Hiarcs then plays 49...e2, followed by 50.Rxe7 Rd5+ 51.Kc2 f2
52.c8=Q.  Hiarcs can then play either f1=Q or e1=N+, both leading
to a perpetual.

See any way out for white?

Will
