The position is not important as a root position, so searching here is
irrelevant.
However, the static evaluation is more interesting as you can encounter this
case in search. I rather have two pawns (on separate files) than a knight and a
rookpawn. So evaluating this position with +5 or so won't help in finding a
winning continuation in a number of positions.
