Yace can see 0.09 pawns for white after analysis.

I helped yace by going forward and backward.

yace liked 2.Qxd6 after 1...Qe3 so I had to tell it the moves that it wants to
play (Re8 h4 h5 Bf3 Qc1+ Kf2 Qd2+ Be2 Qf4+ Kg1 and after playing these moves it
can see the draw after enough time).

After doing it I went back slowly and it found draw in all moves when only at
move 3 it found an alternative 3.Qd7+ with 0.09 pawns for white.

I continue to go back.

It needed a long time to see that there is not a good alternative to 2.Qxd6 but
after enough time it found that 2.Qd7+ has 0.00 evaluation and change its mind
to 2.Qd6.

I continued to go back and it evaluated 1...Qe3 as +0.09 for white
Main line
1...Qe3 2.Qxd6 Re8 3.Qd7+ Re7 4.Qc6 Qxe4 5.d6 Qd3+ 6.Kg1 Re8 7.Kh2 Qxf5 8.Ra2
Rd8 9.Qxb5 Rxd6 10.Qxc4+ Kg6 11.Ra7 Kh7
