Yace paderborn does not see the score goes up for black(note that yace has
zugzwang detection)

The opposite:

After 4...a5 I got bigger scores than 0.81 for black at depth 20,21 but the
score goes down and white continues to increase it's score at depth 23:

depth=22 -0.81 .  5.Kc4 g2 6.Nf3 Kb7 7.Ng1 Kc7 8.Nh3 Kc6 9.Ng1 a4 10.Kb4 e4

I used yace paderborn under winboard.
The pv has to be wrong but I copied it from the analysis window.
