Subject: How to evaluate endgames when one side has no pawns?

     Suppose somewhere deep in the search I get reduction to B vs 2P ending...
what value
should I assign to it? Side with Bishop can't win - so draw for side with 2P at
minimum... If I assign  2 *P value then my program will sac Knight for Pawn in
B+P vs N+2P...rarely sensible .    What should my eval return in B vs P and B vs
2P ?
