Golly.  I've played in tournaments for about 27 years, and have been upset and
scored upsets plenty of times.  My first tournament after achieving a master
rating, I lost in the first round to a 1750 player.  I believe that there was
one US Open where IM, later GM, Fedorowicz was upset by a 1600 player, but I
don't recall the year.  I can believe that you've avoided such upsets up to now,
but you must surely have witnessed them in games between other players.
