I believe that crafty has not the relevant knowledge(I do not know if there are
programs that have it).

I have an experience from a tournament game when I drew a game in a similiar
position when my opponent had bishop and pawn adavntage.

I think that the relevant knowledge should say that KRBP vs KR usually win when
the only exception is when the bishop is the wrong bishop(does not control the
corner promotion square) and the pawn is on the 7th rank.

In this case the evaluation should be closer to draw because I believe that at
least in big part of these cases it is a draw.
