Generally speaking, Level 8 in Video Chess is incredibly easy to beat. Here is an objective way to win against this level, regardless of which opening it plays.

For the standard King's Pawn Opening, I found this method to win in 5 moves. It's not solid play, but the computer is too low-level to counter the opening properly:

 

If you want, post a game you find interesting here, as well. I'll be glad to look at it.

I also played this game against Level 8. It's actually even faster than Stockfish's method of winning. It wins in 11 moves.

I just played another game and beat the Sicilian in 4 moves. Now it's 5 moves or less.

If I could figure out how to change the title, it would now read "How to beat Video Chess Level 8 in 5 Moves or Less". Scholar's Mate is actually a powerful weapon against this computer.
