LOL the site has tweaked it's "Brilliant move" algo again, check this out... this is a game that finished on the 13th of July, check out the completely different reports

now is only calling it best!

Which is good. I didn't really think it was brilliant at all.

What I DON't like is that my odds of winning have different figures in the screenshots.

I played almost 2000 Games and I've seen only 1 Brilliant (played by my opponent). I'm low rating though...

I see brilliant on a be analysis but even when I analyse games played by GMs, no one makes a move the computer rates as brilliant. I'm just wondering what that would look like!

Brilliant moves makes only God.

It’s a good game if I have fewer blunders than good moves, haha.

Also If your rating goes up brilliant becomes even more elusive.. once it thought that forcing Queen sacrifice that wins the game for you, is as automatic as you felt at the time, after all...

not the case for queen sacs, mate.

This game I played according to the engines on move 20 I as black played a6 which the engine annotates as brilliant and I to be honest don’t know why.

Neither do I see why, except that it was hard to find an obvious move, it seems to me, in that position. Maybe it was the only one that did not spoil whatever good you had in the position.

But then, I, or an engine, have done no analysis, and I am no expert..

22. Nf1 is brilliant

Avatar of Zycirline

Nf1 is like a duh move, since h3 loses on the spot. But then again retreating moves are difficult to see I guess

Avatar of Oliver_Prescott

yea, chess.com broken

some other moves that were even MORE obvious were considered "brilliant" as well

I got 1 brilliant move but I forgot the game

Here's one that the site considered a brilliant move. It's a pretty idea that every student should know, but I've never pulled it off in an actual game before. 



Avatar of Zycirline

dang never would have called a4 brilliant since it's in literally every endgame study, but the engine says so... 

Avatar of wollyhood

Did any of you even bother to read my last post? Where I demonstrated that the site's algo on brilliant moves seems to change all the time?

Avatar of Zycirline

I don’t really know whether that’s true or not, but I couldn’t be bothered too much lmao

Avatar of wollyhood

yeh, foolish, i proved that what was called brilliant less than 3 weeks ago is not called brilliant anymore but BEST, so you guys are doing it into the wind a little bit, since my post

that is currently sitting at #90.

That's interesting, what exactly were your thoughts (except the obvious: not many moves that you could make) when you made that move

Avatar of wollyhood
