It would help if you post the position, but one thing I will say is that a 0.2
pawn evaluation is not very meaningful - the game could go either way.  Also,
it's not a good idea in general to trust computer evaluations.  A computer's
strength is based on the moves it plays, not on the ability to correctly
evaluate a position.
