Movei see score close to draw only because of some history based evaluation.
In the previous example it does not see it because one of the conditions to
detect draw based on suspect to perpetual check is no conversion for some moves
and black can capture a pawn after many plies of checks.

The scores goes up to 0 and later goes down to small advntage for white.

The history based evaluation should be improved to detect at least almost draw
also from the previous position and not to have 0 score in the last position
when it does not see the draw.

It has the same behaviour also in other positions when it can have some local
maximum(not necessarily 0 when it suspects perpetual) only to go slightly down
later.
