The difference between a player of ELO 2714 and 2530 is 184 points. With an ELO
difference of 184, the win expectancy is 0.257464 and hence, we would expect (on
average) for the lower ELO player to get about 1 out of 4 points during a long
match.
That someone would be shocked by the inferior player winning shows a woeful
ignorance of the ELO system. We would actually expect occasional wins. That's
on the one hand. On the other hand, this level of "information vacuum" seems to
be very typical. Very few chess players seems to have a grasp of what the ELO
ratings mean.
I wish that I could "suck as bad as Van Wely"! Maybe worse!
