Describe the issue

Stockfish can misevaluate positions when one player has multiple bishops of the same color.
Of course this happens rarely (if ever) during real games, but it is still an interesting case worth documenting.

Engine suggests to Pxa4, which worries me that only special case addition wont solve the issue, need to correct analysis with correct move order
