Can anyone help me and explain why this rook sacrifice from the move number 27 is not a brilliant move, but is a blunder? I don't understand. I sacrificied the rook to take away the knight threatening d3 square so I can checkmate him.

The analysis says that after 28.Qf3, Rf7 than white would have traded the queens and the position would be equal because black has no easy way of comming in the position of black.

Why Rf7? why not Re7? If white trades the queen, the white would have a rook on e3 square

28 Qf3 Rbe7 26 Qxe3 Rxe3 is equal.
27...Qxc3 would have won for black.
Thus 27 Rb7? is a mistake.

Because you forgot that you're playing chess, and not checkers - your opponent was not obligated to take your rook. And it's not a sacrifice, it's just moving the rook to a square where it can be captured

Only forced sacrifice is brilliant

Your opponent could have played anything else, so that's blunder.

You understand? Because I don't. It sounds like nonsense.

White can't "play anything else", because Qf3 is the only move that equalizes.

Maybe it's not the best way to express it, but I understood. A brilliant move apparently is a sacrifice, but only the one when you put the opponent in a bad situation if is not taking it, but is also in a bad situation if is taking it.

I tought that a brilliant move was a sacrifice that would give you an advantage, but apparently is not
