Understanding that the chess.com definition is looking for a particular kind of move.

From the Chess.com Help pages:

Brilliant Moves are always the best or nearly best move in the position, but they are also special in some way.

 

We replaced the old Brilliant algorithm with a simpler definition: a Brilliant move is when you find a good piece sacrifice.

There are additional conditions:

  • You should not be in a bad position after a Brilliant move

  • You should not be completely winning even if you hadn't found the move.

We are also more generous in defining a piece sacrifice for newer players compared to those who are higher-rated.

(Sorry for the weird pagination. I just copied and pasted the definition from the Help page but I couldn't fix it.)

Look at this game:

 
If you want to find brilliant moves, it helps if you have a half-way decent position with developed pieces.
 
You were already lost here. You were getting rolled off the board. You have only one developed piece (your knight) and it has been forced to the side. You have a choice between getting checkmated and losing a rook.
 
You need to take some lessons on how to open a chess game. The basics like taking space, developing pieces, making your king safe and so on.
 
Once you start doing that, the brilliant moves will be there for you to pick from.

Justbefair always does this. White text over a white background. Is this some meme or what?
