The score (1.8) in the later iterations indicates that the engine expects to win
a pawn. (although I see no capture in the PV's, perhaps the PV's are
incomplete?)
What is strange is that it expects to win a pawn after every first move.
In fact only Kb1 wins a pawn. The score for the two other moves (Ka2, Kb2)
should be 0.9 with a material only evaluation. But it is 1.8 ...
