ThreadText: # Which FIDE ratings correspond to the different Stockfish levels at 5+3?

  Lichess has a `Play With The Computer` option on its main site, which offers Stockfish levels 1 through 8.
  
  What would their FIDE ELOs be with time control set to 5+3?
  
  (Some people on Lichess have FIDE ratings, so if they play Stockfish at different levels often enough, perhaps one could use those games to estimate the different Stockfish levels' playing strengths. And perhaps this has already been done?)

  The Stockfish different levels relate to how many moves ahead Stockfish is premitted to consider when choosing its move. Stockfish does not make the types of errors that most people make, so on a lower rating Scockfish will lose to good players in different ways to how a human would.
  
  But you are asking how do use this information to predict "human to human" play....
  
  However their are machine learning based chess engines that been trained on humans at different rating levels, so will play somewhat like a human at the target rating level.
