KRN vs KRPP gets evaluated as draw, at worst, for the KRPP side. IE I know that the KRN side can't win, so I at least hold the score to zero for that side. And if the pawns advance a little, they will pull the score in favor of the two pawns. I wouldn't say it is 'perfect' but it is the right idea. KRN can't win, KRPP can't lose. So the score stays at zero or favors the KRPP...
