I do not feel Kf8 is a computer move. It is quite natural if you see that all pieces are in optimal position, you control the board, and then you bring the king to the center.

Here there are at least 16 moves that give and advantage to black in the range -0.85 / -0.12.
I can't believe a 1700, with a so wide range of possible moves, plays just that, considering that the whole game has been played by the 1700 like a computer (the analysis that i made confirm that).
I think King f8 is a computer move, because a computer (engine) makes calculations and it probably gives to the centrlization of the king a good score but every human hardly would reason in this terms in this position, there's still much to work on the board before centralizing the king.
And consider that we are analyzing post-mortem, he played that move ''before'', not ''after''.
