📕1.Qh3!
White's pieces are aimed at attacking Black's king, and a transfer of the queen to the kingside makes their attack very dangerous. Black should reduce White's attack potential by exchanging pieces.
1.b3? Weakening his own squares along c-file. After 1...Qc7 or 1...Nc6 Black stands better.
1.Re3 Nc6 probably Black is fine.

📕 1.Bxd5!
Black just has to castle to achieve a solid position, but it is White's turn and he takes advantage of Black's delay in castling.
1.Qb3? allows black to castle after 1...Nxc3 2.Bxe7 Nxe7 3.bxc3 Bxc4 4.Qxc4 0-0.
1.Bxe7? Ncxe7 and White's advantage has been reduced quite a bit.
