Out of the winning games that you've shown with Torch, I feel like Torch often has long term master plans to win, and deep ideas. Often winning by deliberately restricting the opponent's play for a while. Stockfish seems to lack deep ideas to win, but rather programmed to play safety-first chess, but somehow stumble on its own lack of winning instinct. Nice.
