'Tis A Puzzlement



The following Jerome Gambit game lasted 81 moves and was collected from the FICS games database site with the notation that the game was "drawn by ajudication".


That conclusion is a bit puzzling, as Black has a forced checkmate.

Could it be that it was White's good fortune that his opponent ran out of time, and the game was drawn because the first player did not have sufficient mating material?
