I can't endure it as a chess fan. Magnus Calrsen, please, beat the Stockfish and destroy them for me.

I still love to see sailboat races on the Chesapeake Bay even though my powerboat can move twice as fast.  I love to see a long home run in a baseball game even though I know machines can be built that will hit the ball much farther.

The same with chess because the computers do NOT use memory in the same way as humans and are virtually a brute-force machine.  They cannot outthink humans abstractly.

So it doesn't bother me.  Additionally, I'm using Stockfish, etc. to show me where I missed moves, where I elected to attack on the K-side when Stockfish shows me I would have been more successful up the middle, etc.  Let the brute force-calculations work for you.

I does bother me that people cheat with the chess engines when play 3 day/move, etc. chess. I played USCF Correspondence Chess in the 1970's and can obviously prove I didn't use any computers to get a 2116 rating: there weren't any computers, at least none available to ordinary people, with strong chess programs.  When you played someone in postal chess then, you knew you were playing against humans!
