It doesn't however avoid "asking for trouble".

7...d6 avoids all forced draw lines as far as I remember. Wasn't there some coverage here a few years back that looked promising for Black...

Ponomariov played 7....Nbd4 and 8...d5 against Nakamura.

I was vaguely under the impression White had a forced draw in the 7...Nxe5 line with a sacrifice on f7.

In my opinion, 7...Nxe5 is very interesting. Black remains a pawn up most of the time, White probably has enough compensation but the arising positions are certainly unbalanced enough to play for 3 results.

Also, does White have a draw or a clear advantage after 7...d6 8.e6 fxe6 ? That line seems to be rather sharp, too.

Probably, if White wants an easy draw after 3...Nf6, the 7.Bf1-thing is the best way to go.
  
You tell the young people of today that...

Is there really any serious way for Black to try and avoid the draw without asking for trouble?
