The ending is drawn, but not dead drawn. White needs to avoid zugzwang, e.g., 54. Bf5?? would now lose to 54... Ne5, and the knight will be able to get to f2 via either d3 or g4.

Reference(s): “The Royal George was abuzz with acitivity on Sunday afternoon. The funeral quietness of earlier in the week, when the competition was fierce, had lifted. Just two solitary players huddled over a board, one desperately fighting for a draw, the other desperately trying to force him into a mistake.”—Limerick Leader, July 24, 1991 p. 4.
