This is a game played against STOCKFISH Level 8. In the opening, I got help from the opening book(100% human brain). Then I used the Stockfish Engine that Lichess supports to VERIFY the moves. I started feeling comfortable towards the end, so I used my pure human brain. Yes, I did not play the entire game by myself, but I just wanted to say that Stockfish level 8 can make many inaccuracies and mistakes. Post ideas on this match and some of YOUR brilliant 'man vs machine' games!
what do u mean "at the end"?
Did you play against the computer with SF engine until around move 43? Most of your moves seem to match with SF's top choice until that move. I must say that it's incredibly hard to win level 8 without additional assistance but nice win anyways.
Do you have an idea how much thinking time is Correspondence Stockfish lvl8 allowed ?
+1 to #5
+1 to #5
Oh, cmon. This is not man vs machine game. This is machine which takes 1 second to think without an opening book VS machine which is operated by a human which has an opening book and takes huge amount of time to validate with the same engine each move.
There is absolutely no surprise that a machine which takes 1 second to move loses to a machine which takes > 30 secs.

Again, I didn't play the whole game by myself. I didn't know that the community would take this match very seriously. And, I challenge @nikolajtesla to play against Stockfish Level 8 in a correspondence match and win.
of course you have not, you just moved pieces after the engine. But then why have you named it man vs engine. No one would care if you would have written the truth: engine operated by me with a long time control vs engine.
Do you challenge me to play fully by myself without a machine? Or play the way you played? If it is the first, then clearly I will lose. I am a low-level player, and 2000 can't win 2500 or so.
If to move pieces like you have done, then here it is:
BTW, till the move 17 I played by myself. Afterwards I have not played at all till move 47. I have not even consulted anything. I just let the engine think for reasonable time while eating and copied the moves: no thinking required at all.
So you see, it is super easy. No thinking required at all. And you can start with black and use your standard opening

Kudos @nikolajtesla for actually taking on the challenge.
OK, lets take it one step further and make some ridiculous moves starting out and then see if your engine at home can still beat Stockfish level 8. I let my engine take over at move 6.
Draw! Stockfish really likes to push a draw when it thinks its down.
Here's a more interesting one. I tried to make it even worse, but my computer ended up winning! I let my engine take over at move 8. This really shows how "weak" Stockfish level 8 is. This last sentence makes me sad as a human.
Also, check out the move times. I wasn't letting my computer think a particularly long time. Most of the time was spent with me manually putting in moves.

@nikolajtesla what is your point? What do you really want to say to me? (I mean no offense)
