I have beaten players who were a lot better than I am.  I don't even play in a
club and have never played in any tournament, but I have won 3 games from a
state champion (out of 13 games played) and beaten a Naval district champion in
informal settings.

I don't know what the ELO difference was, but it was probably enormous.
