Sjeng has knowledge about these kind of endgames, but it does
not evaluate it as 0.00, but as a slight advantage for white (+1.5).

The main goal of that knowledge is not to exchange pieces
if you end up in an opposite bishops ending.

So, it's unlikely Sjeng would have gotten this position in a
game in the first place.
