Is it possible to run 1x9 or 1x10? What do I need to do to keep the chain on the chainring? Thanks

Yes. Chain keeper or front derailleur - just ask David Millar.

Single chainring setups are common for cyclocross. Many 'cross bikes use chainring guards - these are basically plates slightly larger in diameter than the chainring, mounted to either side of the chainring, and act to keep the chain from falling to either side.
