It seems to me that right now the greatest threat is white 10 f2-3
or white 10 Nc3xd5. Is that an incorrect assumption?
these are the variations I have worked out(trying to keep them shorter and error-free)
Black 9. f7-f5
10. white f2-f3, black f5-f4 white's queen is lost.
10. white e4xf5, black Nd4xf5 White's only recourse is Qg3-f3. It seems like this could be followed by black qd8xe7 should White choose to attack the bishop at e7. Should white's queen attack black's knight at g4, black responds with Nf5-e3+
and white loses his queen.
10. white Nc3xd5, black f5-f4. It seems like this could be followed by black qd8-d7 should white choose to attack the bishop at e7. I don't see any other moves that save his queen in the end.
As such, I submit f7-f5 for consideration.

I'm not sure if I see it. I think you might be recommending d5xe4. I haven't pursued that to a great extent yet. I don't have a lot of time to look at it now, but I think it might be good. Looking at it briefly, I think it may be better than f7-f5.
f7-f5 seems like the best move to counter these threats.
