It isn't "better". It's a different thing.

If you are talking about the opening post, it's not "interesting", it's complete nonsense.

comparing best and excellent, it must be best, nothing wins the best move. But, i believe we should compare great and best, right, great is the top engine move, so to best. So anybody here answering the new question, best and great, which is better?

Chess.com calls a move "great" is it's the only good move.

So a "great move" is the best move when no other move is good.

The best thing to do is to ignore these empty labels.

I got brilliant once. It was by mistake, as we all know

I've once got a brilliant, it was just a forced queen trade with my greedy, queen worshiping friend lol, it is my only one so far and I am still proud of it.

A "brilliant move" on chess.com is always a sacrifice, never just a queen trade. You probably didn't (and still don't) understand what was going on with that move.

Excellent is almost as good as best, however they are both virtually the same.
