[crazyhouse] What should have been white's next move, on 9.?

9. Q@e5

Attacking c7, g7 and pinning the bishop. Yes, nice! I should really be looking more for those kinds of attacking moves. Thanks!
I like Bb5 better

After Bd7 you should have played Q@c8 followed by Bxd7 after whatever he blocks, and I think you will win at least a piece here, possibly the game

Bxd7 is bad, because of Nxd7

After Q@c8 Q@d8 he needs to continue with Qxb7 instead
Bb5 can easily be defended by P@c6 or d7, Bd7 was a big mistake by black
Yes, you're right. Would you play Q@c8 to win a pawn, instead of your sequence at #3?

Also, if black defends with something other then the queen then he loses a rook right?

Q@c8 only works if black makes a mistake and does not put pawn at c6 or d7, so yes I think Q@e5 is the stronger play...
