user33133: When I play against a max level chess engine, I can't win. However, when I calculate all the moves with a chess engine, I win every time. If chess computers are all around the same level, how was I able to checkmate the Komodo Engine with Stockfish 15? The game is here.

They aren't.

how was I able to checkmate the Komodo Engine with Stockfish 15?

Using an engine is a bit like playing with "take-backs". You are never going to blunder. Somebody who knows nothing about chess but can follow an engine and copy one engine's best move to another game with another engine is still going to "play" better than Magnus Carlsen. That reflects nothing about them and everything about the choice of engines.
