What are the circumstances? It's rather bad form to ask for advice on
a game that is still in progress, unless your opponent doesn't mind.

Not legal in that position.

Yeah, I noticed that.

Kind of puts a crimp in the plan.

Something wrong with 9. Qxg7?

Here's what Fritz8 came up with in a few minutes' work:

1.d4 b6 2.d5 Nf6 3.c4 g6 4.Nc3 Bg7 5.e4 d6 6.Be2 Bb7 7.Qa4+ Nbd7 8.b4??
Nxe4

8...Nxd5 9.Nxd5 Bxa1 may be slightly stronger.

9.Qc2??

9.Nxe4 Bxa1 10.Bh6 would offer slim but better chances for
counterplay.

9...Bxc3+ 10.Kf1 Bxa1 11.Qxe4

White's down a whole rook for nothing.

11...0-0 12.h4 Nf6 13.Qf3 e6 14.Bg5 Re8

14...exd5 looks a bit better, but Black is still winning easily.

15.h5

Here your game score ends. Fritz8 at this point rates the position
about -7.25, i.e. Black is practically as good as a queen ahead. Black
now has a lot of good moves, but best to me seems to be 15...Ne4! and
either (a) 16.Bxd8 Nd2+ 17.Ke1 Nxf3+ 18.Bxf3 exd5+ 19.Ne2 Raxd8 -+, or
(b) 16.Qxe4 Qxg5-+, or 16.Bf4 exd5 17.cxd5 Bxd5 -+. In any event, Black
should win easily with decent technique.
