That seems wrong, of course.  I get a score of near zero for Be7.  Bg5
is the suggested book move.  After Nd7 I get a score of roughly +1 for
white.  A piece for three pawns almost always loses unless it ends up in
a king and pawn ending quickly and the pawns are mobile.

This certainly isn't that case..
