Can a human draw Stockfish?

@ryan121 true, i didn't think about the detail of the theoretical lines.

I'm assuming it was a human who drew this.

but seriously it is possible but unlikely a human can draw stockfish

It is possible to draw with white pieces if your playing to draw not to win. If you assume there's no possibility of winning then focus everything on removing winning chances I would say that Carlsen would eventually find a drawing line. Computers are programmed to win, and chess players are incentivized to win. If the goal became a 12 game series just to draw the thing once, I believe this could happen, assuming no human interference by a team of grandmasters, manipulating its moves, like they did to Kasparov when he played deep blue. I would bet money on this if Magnus wants to try it.

If an anti-draw Opening Book is used where Stockfish avoids theoretical draws, there is no hope for mankind :(

@Densel7355 source? could you give a link

@variantscanbefun see The Golden Zee trophy.

@Densel7355 link?

@Densel7355 That's not actually Stockfish 8, that's just a weaker version of Stockfish that lichess has to play against. Still a good achievement though

@chess1048576 K factor does affect expected score but just how much rating is adjusted for a game. also is not amount of wins expected so it would not be carlsen to win about 1 game 100 but to draw a game in about 1 / 50 or mixture win and draws. I do think it plausible chess is very drawish game so with white pieces holding a draw is doable. In particular chess engines witll take forced draw if they are event tad worse - this can be prevented though.
