Movei is very fast in finding a small negative score for black.
It is not sure that it is perpetual so it gives white the advantage but the
advantage is very small.

Here is movei's analysis:

[Event "Edited position"]
[Site "URI-PC"]
[Date "2004.09.06"]
[Round "-"]
[White "-"]
[Black "-"]
[Result "*"]
[FEN "7k/R5R1/8/3r3P/3r3K/5P2/6P1/8 w - - 0 1"]
[SetUp "1"]
