Can a human player play like a chess engine?

Just had a curious thought,, Could a human player fool a program designed to detect non-human players?  Basically what I am asking is if a talented chess player tried and I mean really tried too, could that person trick the cheating detector into thinking they were a computer engine?

If this person existed, he would be in Magnus' place right now.

lol, I figured as much after.  realizing how many computations a box must go through before assigning values must be a tad on the huge side.. thx

I can do it in simple King and pawn endgames.

I don't think any cheating detectors in place do their detecting based on style.  I think it's mostly just about seeing how many moves match up with top engine choices for specific different engines.  And if a player is regularly doing that well enough to fool a detection algorithm, he's routinely playing at about 3000 strength, give or take.

That aside, I think it's maybe easier for a human to be able to detect cheating from an opponent based more on style.

I played 11 moves in a row that matched with fritz once.  It would be suspicious except I was at a physical chess board with many observers!

Yes, a famous example is a game between Anand and Aronian. That is called home preparation. Computers can also play like humans. That is done using opening books.

Humans can not decide how to play in a similar way the computers do nor can computers come to moves in the same way as humans do.
