Humans can find engine moves, especially when they have hours on the clock like in classical chess. If you can consistently spend the majority of your time on the most critical moments when game-breaking moves could be found with enough calculation, that's enough to tip the scales dramatically over many games.
Sure, the human won't find the move every time, but it's still a huge edge.

Look at Stockfish's analysis of the game: https://lichess.org/broadcast/sinquefield-cup--grand-chess-tour-2022/round-3/jNzNS3br/89RoVoRC https://lichess.org/broadcast/sinquefield-cup--grand-chess-t... There's not a single move that significantly improved black's position.
- JacobThreeThree 4y agoThere were several missed opportunities that the engine gave a 0.3 to 0.5 point advantage to. One point in the engine rating is roughly equivalent to one pawn. Many end games are won or lost based on having an extra pawn or two. Two moves of 0.5 points adds up to a significant improvement. From my experience watching tournaments, it happens regularly that missed opportunities would have given someone a 1 or 2 point engine rating advantage.
