It is well known for every intelligent player that there
are no general rule for the middle game.

I do not see an endgame after trading the rooks at e8.

I think that black has no advantage in the final position

Movei says 0.31/13 for white but movei does not know
about weak pawns.

Here is the analysis copied from the analysis window:
depth=13 -0.31 e8d6 f3e5 g6f5 d2b4 a7a5 b4c3 g7g6 g2g4 f5e4 f2f3 e4d5 b3d5 c6d5
