An amusing game with apparently some brilliancies

So, the game started of in a pretty usual manner, with few inaccuracies and apparently a blunder too from my side. But, on move 11, when I played c3, stockfish really loved it  and marked it as a brilliancy. Within next two moves, I played apparently two more brilliancies. In fact, on move 14, according to stockfish, three moves, qe3 qf4 and 0-0 , all are brilliant. Fun fact, on move 15 , if I had played 0-0 , it would have been another brilliancy 😂.

.         

On a serious note, I want to know that how exactly do brilliancies work? I mean I understand that mostly it considers piece sac as a brilliant move, but why is Qf4 and Nxf6 brilliant then. Also, does the power of stockfish that analyzes my game depends on my browser and device? and will the analysis vary on different devices? Like if someone among you guys, analyses this game of mine, will you get a different result and maybe find no brilliancy in the game?

Well its easy, now a days if you make the best move while offering one of your pieces in you case it was the rook and the knight , it will be considered brilliant.

knight one wasn't really a sac , but I get what you are saying now. Since entire time the rook was hanging and  I played the right continuation, maybe that's why it said brilliant. Also, what do you mean by 'now a days'? did brilliancies work differently earlier?

Yeah, I think making brilliancy got a lot easier a few months back. Nowadays if a simple mate-in-2 requires a rook sacrifice, even that is shown as a brilliancy.

Hey, since you asked why brilliancy was shown here, I don't know if you have noticed but I think mate is unavoidable here and maybe that's why they were brilliant moves cause they led to mate.
