Why is this a blunder? I thought it was smart since I was forcing him to either pull the rook back a pretty substantial amount or trade it (he ended up trading it, also I won in the end, also also this was probably my best game of chess yet move rating wise)

Why is taking with the Rook better... I mean I know it's a matter of degrees, but aside from them possibly moving their king what makes this not a good move (and I know, you all want me to change my font)

I'm playing so bad it's not even fun anymore

In the past 2 weeks I've dropped almost 200 off my ELO from the highest I've ever been to now the lowest I've *ever* been. I'm on a 13 game losing streak and only won 3 of my past 20 games. I've had games where I've cleared out half my opponents board in the first 12 moves and *still* lost the game via checkmate. I'm not solving puzzles well. I do not understand what is happening.
