Can I beat stockfish level 8? Game 2: Day 7

I will declare the results. d4: 7 votes. d3: 1 vote. The winner is d4 and given that and stockfish responds Qc7. lichess.org/Wuk2XBl0 Tell best moves now.

I think it's d5.

Both d5 and Nbd2 are book moves. With d5, black can play c4 and post the knight on c5. With Nbd2, black can play cd4 and post the knight on c4. I prefer to maintain the tension.

Nbd2.

BLOCK queen??! and bishop!?

D5

d5.

in 11 or 12 moves? Probably not. I don't think anyone can beat Stockfish now, Not with the way it plays.. except an engine.

Humanities only hope may be Magnus Carlsen, We should all try and get him to play a classical match against it. On stream, Big event Lichess, BIG BUCKS!!!!$$$$$$$$$$$$ I'd watch it.

This is stockfish level 8 though, not full-strength, so it's possible. In fact this person won while always premoving: www.speedrun.com/lichess/run/yj5opxdm

@StevenEmily , Yeah I guess if stockfish decides to bring his king to f4 you have a chance?

or just maybe this is a messed up video? some how.

to be fair there was a note:
"The super hyper accelerated Nakhmanson Gambit is too strong."

I think d5 should be played here.
But it would be even more contrast and plus for black
Opening the position will not be good
So my conclusion is to play d5.
