A tip for getting those "brilliant" moves from game analysis

Helpful tip - if you want to get "brilliant"s from the game analysis, bear this in mind: people are risk-averse. The game analysis rewards moves that go against that natural tendency. In this position, there is no real difference between black checking with queen or rook. But if you sacrifice the queen, you'll get a "brilliant" for letting you go of your queen. Not if you use the rook though, since the initial trade would be even.

Isn't that known as "forced"?

And yes, I got a brilliant by capturing a litteral bishop with a queen, missing a unprotected queen  at the top that's attacked by the rook.

I also got 4 greats that make no sense either.

Well, atleast the game at the bottom is known as horrible,I got 32 accuracy when my opponent got 23.

You completely missed what is going on, but I assure you that the engine did not. The move you played (Qxg5) is indeed the best move in the position. After white's Qxh8 you have forced mate, which you later blundered away. Just check the engine analysis and see it for yourself.

@magipi - the forced mate after Qxh8 is gorgeous - black has to let go of the A rook, leave the H rook under threat, let go of the knight, and then ends up mating with a bishop in 6 moves. Something I never would have seen - why consider a line that starts out by dropping so much material? The engine found a real beauty there...
