You can win a bullet game on time.
You can win it by grinding your opponent down.
You can deliver checkmate.

9.Qc4 Nf6 10.Nc3 Qf7
An interesting idea in a 1-minute game: White can exchange Queens, or have Her Magesty go pawn-hunting while behind in development.
11.Qxc7
White picks up the gauntlet.
11...Nf4
This must be time pressure - Black is rated in the mid-1800s.
According to Stockfish 16.1, he had 11...Qe7 12.f3 Kf7 13.b3 d5 14.Qxe7+ Nxe7 15.d3 Rd8 16.Bb2 Nc6 17.0–0–0 Be6 with an even game.
12.O-O
Responding to the threat, and momentarily overlooking a stronger resource.
12...g6
Likewise, focusing on King safety instead of Knight safety.
13.Qxf4
White is now up three pawns. Can he convert quickly?
13...Kg7 14.d4 Nh5 15.Qh6+ Kf6
Stepping into the danger zone.
16.e5+ Ke6 17.d5+ Kf5 18.Qg5 checkmate
