To clarify, I don't claim there's a win for White here - I just suspect that this and similar positions may be mis-evaluated, statically.


IMHO a single eval score says nothing. You always need at least 2: one of the current position (A) and one of a position without what you think gives the advantage (B). For instance in this case you may want to see the evaluation in a very similar position but with the rooks not doubled. Then, if eval(A) > eval(B) there is no case for discussion. I think it is critical to always have clear in mind what evaluations are used for in engines...and no, are not used to analyses the positions in a human like way, are used to decide what is the best move, completely different concept.
