I am happy to participate but I don't have a chess engine. Is what you are asking the same as selecting Play v Computer here and set the strength to maximum (3200)?
Is it possible to play with unlimited time versus the computer with a fixed time and if so what time should that be set to?
If I was playing against a computer, I would probably use something like a Hedgehog set-up which I would never do against a real opponent. Is the idea to try to beat an engine or to play a 'normal' game?

Hello and thank you for your response. I believe the computer chess maximum on chess.com runs some version of stockfish, but I am unsure which version and what specs it has. What might be easier is to download Arena chess gui, and stockfish 13 (it's all free) and just play on your computer. You can also use Arena to train personally if you like.
The goal is to play as well as you can as if it were a "normal" game. Thank you.
I am looking to archive and record around 100 chess games between various members of the chess.com community versus Stockfish 13. Granted, all the games will be lost by the volunteers, but the aim is for the players to try their very best. The purpose of this experiment is for data analytics and unrelated formula derivations that go beyond the scope of this post.
As far as specifics, I am unsure of how to conduct this experiment other than requesting that the volunteers play the engine on their machine, and then just send me the PGN. The games should have no time limit, and you can take as long as you'd like to move.
If the community is interested, I may opt to post the results on the chess.com forums, but they won't hold much significance without sufficient knowledge of Game Theory from mathematics. That being said, anyone with helpful input is welcome to share. To reiterate, I am looking for about 100 players, and I am unsure of how to find/gather them.
Thank you.
