Explaining brilliant moves in my game
In this post I'll try my best to explain all 4 brilliant moves I had ever played (and analyzed), the thought process and how are they brilliant, with a similar language to how me and my friend @VipereBambi explain other brilliant moves.
1# Brilliant move:
This is played a pretty long time ago. In this game, I was playing rated like every day, just hoping to improve my chess and stuff. Here, my opponent just played the move Knight d f3, defending the other Knight, which is attacked three times and only defended twice, and is pinned to checkmate on h1. A logical move for our rating back then. Of course by the way the Knight works, one cannot move and stay defending something, therefore I pusses the pawn to e4, commit a pawn trade. After white took back, there are 2 ways to recapture, and I must find the correct one. 
Ndf3 played by white to defend the other Knight.
Position after pawn takes e4. What if we now take back with the bishop like this...
White has the move Knight takes g5! If the Queen takes the Knight, white can also take our Knight on g4 as well as that move opens line for our Queen. After all the trades are done, we will be down in material. 
The main problem here is our Bishop used to protect the g4 Knight! Therefore we can't take back with the bishop or black has Knight takes g5. SO In the game I played dxe4!, my first brilliant move ever. 
In the game to compare to our analysis, my opponent actually took on g5. After I take back...
The Knight is defended twice and White cannot win anymore material.
(fun fact: my opponent -right after this move- proceeds to blunder f3?? and I won that game)

2# Brilliant move:
This game is not normally rated, this is a casual game I played with my friend, great composer @bestboybest on chess.com, and I streamed this game live on discord to all my great friends to see. (this game was played on lichess)
Here goodboygood played Rf1? Missing some tactics as digested by chess.com engine. Here, Bishop f6 was the best move, trading the bishop, plant his Knight on an outpost etc. But he missed that, and now I got a chance to stop that, with the only move to hold, brilliant move Qe6! defending f6, f7 and the other outpost square on the b-file as well. 
(position after Rf1) (goodboygood's rating is incorrect here as he hasn't played much games for a long time)
position after my brilliant move. Must be analyzed at depth 24 to see.
(fun fact, after I played this move, @Theoandme was also watching and shouted "brilliant move!!"
he was allowed to use analysis board as a commentator, as he doesn't participated in the gameplay at all)
3# Brilliant move (weird)
This game is pretty close the the last one to say. In fact, me, same opponent, unrated casual game, played right on the next day to last brilliant move.
Here, I just blundered a Rook for a pawn, and goodboygood took it instantly. I thought I could give a few checks now, as he just bongclouded, and played the brilliant move Bishop a6 check. 
This is a false brilliant move. After this move in fact white is still winning, but computers just evaluate this position wrongly. The way that white can win this is by playing the back to back brilliant move Kd2!!
How fascinating!! Unfortunately goodboygood wanted to challenge himself and advance with Kf3??, and the game goes on until the endgame phrase, filled with blunders, and I went on to win the game. (how sad)
4# Brilliant move
This brilliant move is just played today (lol). Not very impressive here, just a fork on the King and Rook.
But because this is the only move to gain an advantage, yes, brilliant move.

To sum up, brilliant moves are weird and fascinating at the same time.
thanks for spending your time reading brilliant moves hehe
Keep on playing, see you next post
