Brilliant Moves in New Game Analysis Report
Possible. That's what happened to me before. I played a "brilliant" move, but the engine has an even better "best" move.
Maybe the "best" move is an alternative. The "brilliant" move is a piece sacrifice with a crazy idea that can only be preformed with said move (such as my rook sacrifice)
A sacrifice is a brilliant move
No, even if a sacrifice is the best move, it is not going to show a brilliancy for it. I litterly sacrificed my bishop 5 minutes ago and even though it was the best move, chess.com shows that it was best. Although, if it's a draw but a sacrifice gives you a big advantage they will say that it is brilliant. Depends on the advantage and how good the second best move is (forgot to mention that but you might understand what I mean).
Eric Rosen moment. I moved the king. After they took my queen, I gave a double check, and the next move was checkmate.
1. Kf2? Bxd1?? 2. Nf6+! Kd8 3. Re8#!
Before trading queens, I played a very hard-to-find move.
I sacrificed THE ROOK
This was a brilliant move. It was also the best move.
A brilliant move is one that is trickier to find than normal best moves.
A great move is a move that instantly makes your position better.

"Brilliant (!!) moves and Great Moves are always the best or nearly best move in the position, but 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 some other conditions, like you should not be in a bad position after a Brilliant move and you should not be completely winning even if you had not found the move. Also, we are more generous in defining a piece sacrifice for newer players, compared with those who are higher rated.
Great Move is a new move classification that is denoted by a single exclam (!). These are moves that were critical to the outcome of the game, such as going from losing to equal, equal to winning, or finding the only good move in a position. Similar to Brilliant moves, we are more generous on what we call a Great Move for new players compared with high-rated players."
There are too types of brilliant moves One with the green arrow and one without on the browser. The one with the green arrow is a sac that wins+ only move whereas without the arrow might not even be the best move. Just a sac that wins, might even be the 2nd choice recommended out of the 2 that wins
Brilliant moves are moves that have a sneaky/hard to find follow up but that have nice logic. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT NECESSARLY THE BEST MOVES.
Incorrect.
They have to be the best move.
I swear I saw a brilliant move that was second choice of Stockfish
