Common moves:
9...Qxf4 - Main Line
9...Qh4+ - Czech Variation

9...Qxf4 is the main line, because why not take a pawn if White's going to leave them lying around.

9...Qh4+ is similar to the main line, in that the Black queen ends up on h3 via h4 in both lines, except without the bonus of having taken a pawn. A pawn is a pawn!
