The score for 3.Bb4 goes down at depth 20
I expect the score to stop going down if the position is a real draw.

Inspite of the fact that the  score for 3.Bb4 goes down yace does not find a
better alternative at depth 20.

[D]8/8/2kP1n2/4p1p1/5pP1/B2K1P2/8/8 w - - 0 1

Analysis by Yace 0.99.56:

  3.Bb4 e4+ 4.fxe4 Nxg4 5.e5 Nxe5+ 6.Ke4 Nc4 7.Bc3 Nxd6+ 8.Kf3 Nc4 9.Ke4 Kd7
10.Bf6 Nd2+ 11.Kd3 Nf3 12.Ke4 Ne1 13.Bxg5 f3 14.Ke3
  µ  (-1.21)   Depth: 20   00:16:50  325381kN
