Oh well, this is not so easy to see it's a draw. You need to
know that
    a) it's a closed positoin
    b) that b5 isn't that weak
    c) that black can put a bishop at e8 to protect b5

So not at all a clear position to any computer.

How do you expect a program could get a 0.00 score here real soon?
