Hi! Happy to be playing a game with you! I'm from northern MN. I used to play some OTB, but I'm playing correspondence now because of my remote location.
I typically don't use any opening books or databases for the openings on rhp. I have them, but if I do end up playing OTB again, I don't want to be rusty in the opening phases.
