If you are on a sidewalk and the covid goes beep beep
Just step aside or you might have a bit of heat
Covid covid runs through the town all day
Can the people ever change their ways
Sherwin the covid's after you
Sherwin if it catches you you're through

Not so trivial that the static evaluation could detect it, though. Shuttling the Rook between a6 and e6 is not enough, as potentially the Rook could get attacked there by the King, after which QxN, KxN, KxR would leave a won KPPK.

Nice fortress position. There is no need at all to move the rook, Black can simply shuffle the king which is perfectly defended by the knight. White might even manage to advance the e-pawn with the help of Kf5 and the queen but then Black would give R+N for Q+P, and it would be a draw with the remaining a-pawn.
