I played this game and there was a confusing move that Stockfish decided to identify as brilliant, even though it seemed like the most obvious move to me.

31...Rh6 is the best move and obvious; but some will opt for QxN.  White's failure to counter Rh6  leads to M3; Black missed this continuation (try 33..Qxe2+ not Qh1+; 34.Kg1 Qh2++).   So I guess it is considered a brilliant move.

Then again, SF is as proficient in assigning brilliancy as it is in auction bidding for a Rembrandt painting. Better trust your own intuition.
