I played 300 games against Rainman and will continue

[Chessqueen]

I decided to play 300 games versus Rainman until I figured how beat it most of the times. I will continue paying against Rainman until I reach at least 1000 games this is my way of improving
NOTE: After I reached 200 games I started improving and my human mind started figuring how to beat it most of the times. Engines have certain style and way of playing but the human mind learn how to adjust.

Now do that with Stockfish 16

Since you did NOT give me the Odds to play against Stockfish and NOT even Magnus can beat it with a Knight Odds at 3/2

What is the basis of this statement? Have there actually been games where Magnus took knight odds in blitz from Stockfish? As far as I know, no engine has beaten anyone over 2700 FIDE giving knight odds in blitz; do you know otherwise?
