Due to inclement weather, the second round of the tournament was postponed. However, games were played and rated, although not counting towards tournament standings. Also, the time control was shortened to G/80 due to the late start of the game.

I believe 51... c4 wins for Black with precise play. Black needs to open another file for his rook to operate on. The text allows White to lock the queenside pawns and seals the draw.
