My (2) Favorite Early wins in CCLA

USA/S33999, 2013 CCLA Server Team - Division 3

It took me years to understand Opening Theory, and I am still learning, but along with endgames and tactics there's always that confidence that overcomes fear in at least lasting longer and fighting better than a Patzer.  I joined the CCLA late last year as I wanted to improve my all around OTB play with correspondence type chess tournaments...  CC play has helped me improved in actual OTB tournaments.  I still enjoy both, and I get more thrills OTB.
