Stay calm, never panic when your pieces get attacked

Today I finally broke through on chess.com by winning my first USCF-rated rapid 15 10 event with 4.5/5 points. That's the only way to gain rating points.

​In round 3 I reached the position below. My rook is en prise but it's important not to panic. There might be some other moves; automatically retreating the rook would be a mistake. Plus my opponent was down to something like a minute and a half. So I gave up the exchange but as it turns out Black couldn't afford to take it anyway. I love the messiness of the position.

WHITE TO  MOVE!
