As far as your chess, realize that f7 (f2 for white) is the weak spot for Black in the opening. When you lose games in 4-8-16 moves it often involves the f7 square + the enemy Queen. :'( The knight at f6 (white f3) is your best defender and if you get in a bind your Q can come to e7 to help out. But the good news is that these cheapo attacks can be easily handled with proper play.
Drop me a line if you would like a couple of unrated practice games. We can discuss them as they progress.
Best,
Steve

I'm new to this site..
I just kinda wanted to get to know a few people. =3
My advice is to steer clear of the inferior versions, www.timeforchess.com and RHP.
Pleased to meet you.
