There were twenty five moves (half moves, if you want to get technical) in this game. Eight of them were by rook pawns. Almost one third of the moves, though each side has fourteen units that are not rook pawns.

The award for worst move with a rook pawn goes to him, of course, in his capture of your bishop. Second prize goes to his a-pawn move, a pointless exercise when he was already under threat on the other side of the board. Third prize to your a3, pointless but at least you weren't ignoring a threat.
