Trying to resist the irresistible player: Failing

When I saw he was a 2400 I thought it's not a good idea to play for a win, so I tried to calculate things well and resist as long as possible, but this great all calculating opponent found his way anyway.

I find my gaps with such players, I realize new ways for a win even though I find it so difficult to implement these perfectly calculated ways of play.

Here is the game: en.lichess.org/otnAmRBP/black#1

Any idea what I must improve to resist longer with such players? I dont like to lose so quickly.
Take your time and just play your game. You are a 2000+ player so you are pretty close to his skill level. Don't pay any mind to the rating of your opponent, trust me on that, it hurts more than it helps. Same for when you play lower rated players. Don't take them lightly or you could lose.

Atleast you learn from losing though, so keep playing and getting better. I may not be a strong normal chess player but I am good at antichess and if you pay attention to ratings seeing they are higher rated I find you do worse than if you didn't pay attention to it. Same for lower rated opponents you face. Treat them like you're playing someone at your skill level and you should do better. And yes, I know this is easier said than done
One tip, don't play engines on this site. They are a little bit underrated :)
@GentjanLici

Dont worry, you play vs a player who used a very good engine vs you, I think you played here vs a 2800 minimum Level

slide your courser over the profile name: if you see the message: This user uses chesscomputer assistance, then I wouldn´t go for a game with those. except you want to test your skills vs perfect play.
Yeah, the 2400 'person' you played was using a computer.
