Chess.com HAS to fix this MAJOR issue- They missed my brilliancy

I’ve had enough. Chess.com’s move evaluation system is broken beyond repair. I just played the most galaxy-brain, 5D-chess, Stockfish-would-cry brilliant move of my life… and they had the AUDACITY to call it a good move.

I SACRIFICED a knight. A knight. Everyone knows sacrifices = brilliance. It’s like an unwritten chess law. But no, Chess.com decided my masterpiece was just “good.” Meanwhile, I’ve seen someone hang a queen and get a “brilliant” just because it accidentally led to mate.

How is this fair? How is this just? We need answers. We need justice.

I demand Chess.com fix their evaluation system ASAP or at least send me a written apology for disrespecting my genius.

Disgust.

But you were already "completely winning without it" and it wasn't the best move.

from the Support Pages:

 

Brilliant Moves are always the best or nearly best move in the position, but they are also special in some way.

 

We replaced the old Brilliant algorithm with a simpler definition: a Brilliant move is when you find a good piece sacrifice.

 

There are additional conditions:

  • You should not be in a bad position after a Brilliant move

  • You should not be completely winning even if you hadn't found the move.

We are also more generous in defining a piece sacrifice for newer players compared to those who are higher-rated.

There you go. You have to not be winning if you hadn’t found the move.

But that makes it even worse, doesn't it?

The move is not the best according to game review, and at the same time the comment that game review gives is "Nf3+ is best" (see in the picture attached to the first post).

I don't agree with any of the opening poster's ramblings, but his assessment that chess.com's game review "is broken beyond repair" happens to be correct.

what's that got to do with winning the game or not winning the game --- just for a pat on the back??? is that what you are looking for - I wish I could make good moves or even ok moves -- be thankful you won -- maybe there are bigger issues here at chess.com to take up the cause for, than getting a well-done pat on the back for the brilliant move, over a good move - don't you think?

It's not broken.

Game Review runs at the configured strength. Depending on how deep it gets, best can change if the engine is left to run deeper/longer. That's just how all engines work and review uses the evaluations to give the classifications.

This has happened to me as well, when I sacrificed a rook for checkmate, like one of those puzzle positions. I think that must have been a brilliant move. But it didn't say so in game review. If you know or think a move that you made is a brilliant move, and it doesn't show so in analysis and/or game review, at least you yourself know you made an amazing move. You don't need to care about what game review or stockfish says that move is. Just feel good about yourself making that move.
