Draw aganist Stockfish level 8

Today I decided to play against stockfish level 8. I play the whole game very carefully, patiently exchanging pieces. His play is very annoying because it has very deep ideas behind the moves. While the strong player can make a mistake, stockfish plays very accurate and is ready to punish any inaccuracy. 

Any ideas to improve my play?

I would have played 11. Rd1+ Ke8 12. Bg5
14. Be3 (you have f5 on ... f5xg4)
17. Rad1+ to give SF QR development issues.

From 20. You were very solid.
I thought you were going to lose in the late 30's
38. ... Kc3 looked killing to me. SF played ... Rg7+

65. Kh3, but I guess you were mentally shattered by then.

 i don't think that 38 kc3 is winning.White can play 39Rd8 d2 40 b5 Kc2 41Rc8+ with draw by repetition

Yes, sorry. I see that line is a draw now.
The trouble with engines is they never blunder and every more is better than average.
I guess you could look at Fischer-Unzicker 21 Sep 1970 19th Olympiad Siegen 1970 which is a straight Exchange Variation win for ideas.  You know how it is, you have to have something dynamic going on, as in this case doubled pawns and hope you can use a 4 v 3 advantage before the bishop pair get lively. 
Maybe 10. Ng5 is better as SF will clearly play the same 9 moves if you try again. Still reckon the machine would find 10. ... Ke7 though.

Whew, good thing you didn't talk about beating stockfish at level 10/impossible! We don't need another one of those.

@HorribleTomato Indeed. The thing is as well if you have a powerful computer an engine plays better than on a less powerful computer.

It's crazy how GM Andrew beat stockfish 8 (3000) in less than 15 seconds ultrabullet
