After 51...a3 52.Kc3 Kxd5 53.g6 hxg6 54.fxg6 there is a tablebases mate in 21.

If Gambittiger can see mate in 21 from the root then it means that
black blunders at one of the moves 51,52 or 53.

I believe that Gambittiger simply tells wrong information about mate scores and
it does not surprise me if it is the case because I saw it in the past.
