Fighting someone with higher elo

I just fought someone with higher elo than me,my elo 1473 and the opposite side is 1915.obviosly i lost.

What about you?is it possible to beat a player with 500+higher elo?
Yes anything is possible and the position was drawn until you blundered kf7
Yes it is. I, an amateur with only 6 years of experience, have beaten an FM at bullet, any 'upset' is possible.

The more you win against higher rated people, the more you believe. There is no magic force that makes them win, the game is played on the 64 squares.
About the game, note that they made 4 blunders, so yes you could have won.

And this endgame you just go back and forth with your bishop and white cannot progress.
First there's blundering pieces, then there's blundering squares ...
