     WHAT IS WHITE'S POOR MOVE?  Here is how one careless move can turn a winning endgame into a draw.
     In fact, I could have played a different 2nd
move and had R+P versus R+P, although I guess
that is a draw as well.

i would agree that one poor move can turn your fortunes downwards. in this one, i wouldn't have sacrificed the rook. i would have taken the pawn in my first move but i would prefer to move the king when checked. as to where, i'm too much of a beginner to know where the next move would go... :/  hint?
