I'm not sure it's particularly useful to turn on your engine on move 10 in a position like this and conclude too much from the numbers it gives you. 10...Nd7 introduces a coherent plan for Black of swapping on d4 and redeploying the pieces to attack the centre, usually with ...Re8, ...Bf6 ...Na5, and sometimes with ...c5 as well. Giving up the centre like this entails some risk, but you've now got an unbalanced position with everything still on the board apart from one pair of pawns. If you're unwilling to take the draw by repetition you've already said you want to avoid, then that seems like a reasonable compromise. Svidler and Bu, to name two 2700+ players, have thought the idea good enough to play multiple times against 2600+ GMs. As Kuzmin puts it in his book The Zaitsev System, this approach gives Black the chance to conduct 'a full-scale battle in an original key.'

3. ...a6?!, better is 3. ...Nf6.

If needing to win, black needs to play something different on move 9 or earlier. I thought everybody knew that. There's always the Sicilian.
