Watching Engines Play Humans?!

I was thinking it would be valueble to watch Engines playing humans. Why learn from watching an IM just a few hundred rating points above me when I can learn from an engine rated 3300.

Is there any YouTube channel or way on LiChess TV I can watch engines playing humans (top stockfish not stockfish at level 1 or 2)?

Any suggestions appreciated!

i think your logic is flawed, engine "strategy" is literally impossible to replicate because the approach to the game is fundamentally different.
in any case sometimes you can find such games on FICS, but as you might understand not many good human players enjoy playing the (C) accounts. it's probably easier to find cheaters somewhere and follow their games while they don't get banned

The engines play incredibly well but utterly concrete as well as long-term proof.

Watching computers is often not that helpful. For example, you can watch a thousand times pawnless BB vs. N won by the PC - but you'll recognize no pattern.

I agree with #2 and #4

Computers don't actually play chess at all, they are just calculators.

Chess is not calculation, chess is about creative vision (chess computers do not have this quality, because only humans and God have the ability to create something).

In chess you only use calculation to make sure your vision is correct. It never starts with calculation, it always starts with vision.

I wish these calculators were not used to rape and disgrace creative games such as chess.

May be show battle computer vs computer like tcec (http://tcec.chessdom.com/live.php)? List of free and opensource engines are there, at ccrl (http://www.computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/4040/). And may be add to lichess these weak engines for play humans with these.

@NoLuckOnlySkill Look at the the following engine vs. engine game:
en.lichess.org/E76Eq4qA#79

Even though the engines just return some output to a given input in a specified format, I'd say that a human player would describe black's play as creative and brilliant. Would you call that "disgracing creative games"?

I agree that looking at computer games does not really help to improve if you don't deeply analyse the games. Games of human players usually are easier to understand for humans.

@ubdip

I watched the game. If you like computer chess, keep on liking it.

I saw nothing creative about that game. It was just 2 calculators swinging pieces around according to their algorythms. They make a move because it is +0.1 in their algorythm, that is why the moves are completely pointless and not constructing a strategic way to develop the position.

The game you linked is a perfect example of ugly chess by calculators. It is ugly because it is not chess. Making a move because it is +0.1 is not chess.

No human can ever duplicate this disgusting vomit, thankfully!

@NoLuckOnlySkill I do not judge a game based on who or what played it or why the moves were play. I like the linked game, because of the king walk and triangulation in a position where these ideas usually do not work. Of course, the engines do not know anything about that, but that does not keep me from recognizing these ideas and enjoying the beauty of the game. (this is of course subjective and others might feel different about it)
