Human

Can you please tell me what a "human move" is and how you know when a move is not a human one?
I played black here and whites moves didn't seem to follow any logic as far as a person would think. I also think that a human would be afraid to try to play this way so I don't even know!
Your opponent made very human moves. All you have to do is look over the computer analysis and you can see how they very often went their own route instead of what a computer recommends as the best move. @Chessty_McBiggins I think we can say fairly that a human is more likely to deviate from what stockfish recommends the lower their ranking is. Keeping to that thought process one can assume that the better their ranking the less they would deviate from stockfish. I would say more importantly you judge this in the middle and end games as opening is really theory memorization. Just my two cents tho... It will always be an iffy subject in the world of online chess as we would like to think this is still a mature and sophisticated sport where people have ethics. People have accused players of cheating via electronics in their chapstick tube in over the board play...
I can assure you that you didn't unknowingly beat Stockfish if that is your concern of "not human" moves. Everyone has to learn chess, some are already ahead, others are more at the beginning.
I never said anything about stockfish or cheating with a strong computer. I just didn't see how any human being would actually make those moves!
This is similar to the game of a person for whom the result is not important. From his every move he wants to get the advantage that he sees. Yes, these types are rare, but there are. They do not often play chess and do not consider chess as a very interesting and clever game.
@SendBeggar

Who else would be making these moves, if neither a human or an engine?
This player's cat?

Or are you simply trying to humblebrag?
