Good job by the lower-rated player.

GM Dmitry Gurevich told me the following very wise words years ago (I was and am a 2100+ player):

"You are not that much worse than a 2500, but you are not that much better than a 1500."

Geoffrey Caveney

Happens I almost upset a 2100 in a trounament I a 1350 so in happens sometimes but rarely

6. PLAYING SYSTEM-TIME THINKING-REGULATIONS:

6.1  The races will be held in six rounds Swiss system and the thinking time is 90m for the first 40 moves and 30m for the rest of the lot with additional 30s on each piece, the first movement, for each player, for the completion of the game. The recording of movements is mandatory throughout the batch. The rules of Chess FIDE.

Nice time control for that tournament.

The long time control games that I have been playing have been 90m/30s.

Wow. A friend of mine... a strong 1800 USCF player, defeated a 2300 at the recent Central Florida Class Championships.

Here's another accomplishment of the same player http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/1589-upsets-2161
