I'm afraid I am no expert, but I would play 9. exd4. But I hate that opening. I find it tedious. I like fast, cool, sacrifice-filled games.

white should play exd5 before d2-d4

I don't think black can keep all of that tension, seems to me after a quick look that exd4 is the move, after that Bg4 looks good.

I like Bg4 right away. Makes it so white can't take either pawn without putting extra pressure on f3, which could eventually end up as doubled pawns. Bad ones at that (since white can't turn the file into an attack, since all the play is centralized).

Hrm, after dxe5 though things get annoying for black I think.

dxe5 Bxe5 Qxe5 Ne8 maybe? I still prefer exd4.

Actually, I just checked the board. I forgot black has a knight on c6

Replace Ne8 with Nxe5 and I like black. Yeah, I guess I like Bg4 then.
