Youth and Experience Clash in FIDE-Rated Midwest Events

Growing up as a teenager in North Carolina in the 2000s, it never occurred to me that I could play FIDE rated chess. Sure, I occasionally received postcards advertising tournaments where the top two sections were FIDE-rated. But as a class B player, this meant nothing to me. Maybe if I lived somewhere like New York, there would be more opportunities to play tournaments where each game lasted at least four hours. Instead, it was a life of “weekenders” at faster time controls for me.
