JMack207 vs Anda (be wary of free gifts)

    This was an interesting game that could have gone either way until Anda (playing black) threatened my Rook with her Queen.  I noticed if I left the Rook trapped by the knight and allowing Anda to go for it, I would have her in checkmate in 3 moves.  Fortunately for me, Anda didn't see the future checkmate, went after the Rook, and lost.  I have been burned by this so many times that I get very paranoid when I see a piece dangling out in the open for me to take.  I study the board, trying to foresee 2, 3, and sometimes 4 moves ahead to see what my opponent has up his/her sleeve before I take the piece.  We all need to learn how to do that so our ranking can continue to grow.  Here's the game

    "Sorry Anda," spoke mozerdozer. But I heard him chuckling in Connecticut all the way here in Pennsylvania! Sorry, my foot! But guess what, folks! I just might be more careful next time! Thanks for the lesson, Jake!
