Surprisingly interesting read!

Lmao yeah, I'm about the same rating as the author (1300 on lichess), for the same reasons (don't care for studying a game) and I highly doubt I could win a game against a 2200 rated master even if I played them 500 times lol, no chance.

Also worth considering that Stockfish is as good as the computing power you give it. A browser based Stockfish 14 is not the same as Stockfish 14 on a supercomputer.

I don't think there are odds that would let me win against 3500 ELO full blown Stockfish. It could probably beat me with like 4 pawns and a king lol
