How to make brillitant move in chess
To make a brilliant move in chess — the kind of move that surprises your opponent and delights spectators — you need a combination of deep calculation, creativity, and strategic -understanding. Here’s how to train yourself to find and play brilliant moves:
🎯 1. Look Beyond the Obvious
-Most players go for the first strong-looking move.
-Brilliant moves often come from looking deeper — second, third best options that are not obvious.
Example: Sacrificing your queen to deliver mate two moves later.
🧠 2. Calculate Tactics Like a Machine
-Train with puzzles: forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks.
-Practice "visualization drills" — imagine the board 3-5 moves ahead.
-Use tactics trainers like:
-Lichess
-Chess.com Puzzles
🧩 A brilliant move is usually the final step of a beautiful tactic.
🔥 3. Learn From Famous Brilliancies
Study games like:
-Kasparov vs Topalov (1999) — relentless attack.
-Fischer vs Byrne (1956) — queen sacrifice and domination.
-AlphaZero’s games — modern brilliance with long-term sacrifices.
-Replay and ask yourself:
-Why was this move surprising?
-What made it possible?
-What did the opponent miss?
♟️ 4. Master Strategic Imbalances
-Sometimes brilliant moves are not tactical but positional.
-Example: giving up a rook for a dominating knight, or sacrificing a pawn to activate all your -pieces.
⚖️ 5. Be Willing to Sacrifice
-Brilliant moves often involve:
-Queen sacrifices
-Unexpected underpromotions (e.g., promoting to knight!)
-Tempo plays that seem passive but turn the tide
-But sacrifice only with a clear idea, not just for show.
🏋️ 6. Train With Blindfold or Limited Vision
-Try solving puzzles without seeing the board, or with part of the position hidden. This strengthens:
-Pattern recognition
-Intuition
-Deep calculation under pressure
🚀 Final Tip: Trust Your Instinct — Then Verify
-Great players feel a brilliant move is there.
-Then they calculate precisely to prove it works.
-"The beauty of a brilliant move is that it turns the logic of the game upside down — but it all makes perfect sense in the end."
