sorry to pop your bubble dude but the engine analysis engine runs differently for different elo. For example a brilliant move for a 600 will probably be a great move for 800s
I dont think that's true.

It is - the official description of "brilliant" states We are also more generous in defining a piece sacrifice for newer players compared to those who are higher-rated.

Improving from 450 to 650 Elo over a six month period is going in the right direction, but it's not exactly setting the world on fire. I wouldn't give to much credence to 'brilliant' moves.

I've been playing a lot of brilliant moves recently. Is this a sign that i can reach intermediate level soon? (i think that's 1200) Like here:
(i play as black in this one)
You can check my other games after this one, just look for the games after i played this opponent.
Again, am i improving?
Hello dear friend,
You played a really accurate game there. Give yourself a pat on the back.
But about your question, in my opinion, you have a great eye for tactics however to get higher elo or be more accurate in the games, you should improve your overall game; positional play, understanding the position, endgames, openings etc.
Should you focus on what I mentioned above, provided that you're dedicated and passionate about chess and play on a regular basis, you will quickly get to 1200s.
Whether you're improving depends on whether you understood why those moves were good while you were making them. If you moved a piece because you couldn't think of anything else and it just happened to be a "brilliant" one, you're not really improving, just getting lucky. If you calculated the effects of these moves during the game and understood in the moment that they were good, that indicates improvement. So, really, you're the only one who can answer your question!
