Are "Brilliant moves" in computer analysis just any decent sacrifice now?

 I played Nh6
If Rock takes on h6 then  Qf7 check,
Kh8 forced
And Re8, forcing the queen to take on e8 and then i win the queen.

I don't think its a brilliant, but I did think about this move for like 3 mins.

I had three in one of my recent games

I have in total seen 5 brilliant moves in my games (1 per game); 3 by me and 2 by my opponents. Out of my 3 moves, 2 were against actual persons and 1 against computer. There was actually nothing special about my brilliant moves. In all my moves, there were piece sacrifices involved. Also, it didn’t lead to winning positions in 1 of my games and in both the games by my opponents, I won. Also, in 2 of my games, the moves were played after some blunder or inaccuracy. Link to my 2 games are - https://www.chess.com/live/game/60835161421 (11. Nxg4), https://www.chess.com/live/game/60616204987 (34. Rxh3+). Hope it helps.

This is fake "Game Review analysis", conceived to increase the sense of personal well-being of participants and to counteract their immense sense of despair, at being told they have committed blunders.

I got brilliant for making what appeared an obvious move to me... I guess most players would take the castle with their castle?

You are forking checkmate and a knight.

This move, capturing a Bishop, seemed like an obvious move to me.

Rxf5+!!

i had a few on an old account but very rare

Avatar of Sammy_Thechessboy

I don't exactly remember, but I've had 3 brilliant moves in my account so far out of the games that I've analyzed.

One was a quite obvious move to me, but it was a greek gift sac (Bxh2+) so I just took it as a brilliant.

The other two... not so much. One was a very obvious king retreat, and another was a very obvious king-rook fork. I don't really know what the "brilliancies" are supposed to mean, but I try not to rely on it too much, as the moves that I actually consider brilliant are never one lol.

Quite frequent actually, depends on the style. I love sacrifices, so I played (considering that I analyzed every game only since July) more than 170 brilliant moves since January. More solid players don’t get brilliant moves very much
Avatar of ItsTwoDuece

The most simple way to understand how the computer determines brilliancies is as a move which is the best by a large margin and which offers your opponent material in some way. There's more to it I believe, but that's practically it. With that in mind they aren't too rare for tactically minded players willing to sacrifice- usually I'm more level headed when attacking, but I I had one game with 4 (over the board, I was Black here):

I'm sure many other players here have games with multiple as well, it just depends on how you approach attacking.
