Tip for other beginners: If you see a knight near your king and a free bishop, do not take the bishop if it’s on the same color as your king!

Stockfish called my move an inaccuracy but at my level it’s a brilliant move.

Interesting game, thanks for sharing!

That first move should have been called brilliant, but brilliant moves have to be the best move
SacrifycedStoat
You would have won a rook no matter what they play, and you are giving away less than 5 material.

I actually don’t know why that wasn’t brilliant
SacrifycedStoat
Oh. They can trap your knight, actually winning material off of that.

For the first one if the pawn was on d6 instead of d7 it would be brilliant

Also, if Qg6 after Bb5, then Nxc6+ fork, if Kd8 and you decide to take the rook, they play Qxe4 forking your rook and king, so you might think the material is equal, however the knight on a8 is trapped.

Actually, they don't. My first ever brilliant move was the 2nd best in the evaluation.

You are right.

Additionally, Bb5 is a poor move in this position. Pure "hope chess". Black should play Qg6 with double threat (c6 and Qxe4). White has nothing.
