score of below -1.8 is not convincing about the result.

In order to be almost sure about the result you should try to analyze the
position in this case.

You can usually trust score of below -6 or above +6 to decide that one side is
winning but not score of -1.8 or -1.9(I guess that deciding based on this score
give probability of about 30% to be wrong).
