Amazing Halloween Gambit Game

This game perhaps isn't appropriate for game showcase, because it's not a game played by me.

If I had my way, I would have lots of fun using the copy of stockfish I have on my computer to play tons of unsound moves in the opening and still destroy openings on live chess- but that's not very nice and breaking the rules too.

Luckily, there are plenty of relatively weak engines on the internet to do this to when I am feeling bored and want to see a masterpiece. Here is a chess game that I had my PC stockfish play vs. Stockfish level 8 on lichess.org. It is quite amazing how lichess.org stockfish slowly gives away the advantage it gains from the gambit. Can you believe that it's possible to win in such a positional manner in a gambit that gives up an exchange move 5?

Opening that I made stockfish play:

Here is how the game continued:

Now, does anybody know how I can configure my stockfish to play more brilliantly? Not to make more accurate moves, but after around move 25 it displayed +2.0 and +3.0 and I bet there were plenty of sacrificial and Morphy-like moves that it could of played and still had a crushing position, and I wonder if there is some sort of personality I can download my engine so that it tends to sacrifce pieces and hang pieces when it can and still have a winning position. That would just make the game more entertaining in my eyes, which is the whole point of this in the first place.

By the way, check out the mate in 2 at the end of this, it is absolutely genius. If you scroll too quickly you might not see how genius stockfish is for finding this mate in 2.
