Are "Brilliant moves" in computer analysis just any decent sacrifice now?
I've had two that I knew of.. one a rook sac that didn't gain any material; rather, the engine suggested it was the only move that didn't lose any, and the other a simple capture of a bishop where I had a trapped rook I could've attacked instead.
I'm an utter beginner and love to look at the post game analysis to try and learn something. I was SHOCKED when I found out I had actually made a "brilliant" move. I was even more SHOCKED to find that I actually made two "brilliant" moves in the same game!!! I was very disappointed to lose that game too. All it takes is one blunder... Those were the only "brilliant" moves I have made and I still don't understand why they were considered brilliant. I think I need a good coach.
Then why aren't you listening? The "brilliant move" assessment is hype. Doesn't mean any more than "good move".
I had 2 in this game. It seems a lot of brilliant moves are sacrifices.

a normal threatened king and rook fork. how is this a brilliant move? (I think the reason is because it's a counter attack.)
I once got 2 brilliant moves in the same game, they really don't mean anything though since i only got them for some pretty simple moves

apparently, this is a brilliant move?
its when computer is also not able to guess that idea
