because the positions after rxb2 are lost for black, while the starting
position is -1.something...  I'm not sure what it is you don't understand.
The tablebases provide -MatNN, +MatNN and Draw scores...  and this has
nothing to do with the static evaluation of the position.  A tablebase
hit overrides *any* score.
