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.

> Everyone knows sacrifices = brilliance.

Not always, I often sacrifice pieces (including the king) without a clear purpose

Its not brilliant if your in a COMPLETELY WINNING position. You could have played Kh7 insteasd of knight sacrifice and be winning -4. A brilliant needs to be a Really needed and required move.

A brilliant move is not Always the best move.

Now correct me if i am wrong but i'm pretty sure a brilliant move is a combination of a great move and a sacrifice. Your move wasnt a great move. The worst move Kh7 is completely winning for you

The meaning of a great move is the only move that works. Please do not throw a tantrum and say that chess.com's Game review Systems are trash. Just because the review did it's job correctly. To a degree you cannot understand. Thats why there is coach explanations for everyone to use. Diamond players just get it every time they review.

Also sacrificing a knight for open king and 2 pawns is not galaxy brain when you are already winning so hard that your opponent can never recover. Your making it sound like you just sacrificed your queen to checkmate in 9 moves Where every single move is forced and your opponent gets checkmated. that would be a galaxy brain sacrifice because its completely forced and crazy because it hunts the king all the way down the board to play just move ur king up checkmate.
