In my way to exercise a basic endgame with the practice tool availalbe on the analysis board: lichess.org/analysis/5k2/8/8/8/1P6/8/8/3K4_w_-_-_0_1
I was shocked when the analysis gave me 0 after I played what it is considered to be a winning move (image 1: 7. b5+ Ka7). Interesting enough, I disabled the practice mode so I could see what the computer says about the position.
Apparently, when the computer evaluation is enabled indicating multiple lines (but not 1), it recommends you to play the dead drawn moves (image 2), when Kc7 is clearly winning.

I made this topic because it is interesting to notice the way it works, the giant tablebase lichess provides for endgames is more than enough, there's no need for a local computer evaluation.
Have a nice day!
