This just proves the point. If you play enough games you will regularly beat players rated above you. 25% of the time in fact for 200 rating points.
However, I am prepared to bet you can find just as many embarassing losses to players rated below you. Oh indeed I can.

Oh indeed I can. Don't worry, so can I. For every 2200 player I beat I lose to a 1600 player. Usually I manage to do both of them in the same tournament. Such is life ... and chess!
