Brilliant Moves in New Game Analysis Report
I think it will be assessed as brilliant if engine think that move is better than the move that itself assessed as the best one

It seems that a definitive consensus has yet to be reached as to what empirically defines a “brilliant move”. This thread is primarily conjecture, educated guess-work and egoist defensiveness. BUT what I think we can ALL reach a consensus on is that “hikarunaku” is the most obnoxiously abrasive, pedantic pontificator I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. It is a testament to this communities maturity that this man was not chased off the thread with torches and pitchforks. I commend you all.

Brilliant moves are where the engine think it's even better than a best move or that you moved a very good move without the engine knowing it or finding it.

Hey, in one of my games I got a move the engine couldn't find but it wasn't marked as brilliant.Why??

Chess.com seems to have added a "Great Find" move category with a single exclamation mark (!) with a light blue color in addition to "Brilliant" Moves with a double exclam (!!).

Look at my analysis not in Beta mode.


Hi
Have been trying to figure out why d5 was a (!!) .. seemed to be just capitalisation on opponent's weak move previously .. unless I'm missing something deeper ?

I've only had one move marked as brilliant by the post-game analysis. In that situation, I was in check and only had 2 legal moves. I chose the better of the 2 (which seemed fairly obvious) and the analysis called it "brilliant". I found that really surprising. Perhaps just a bug?

It's usually a move that is hard to find, like a queen sacrifice. OR, it's a move that is considered brilliant because it allows a great play afterwards, but if you don't find the play as well it usually becomes bad.
Like me in the Stafford.

Because Brilliant Moves is basically the only move that saves your position
