Oh ok , thanks !
Are "Brilliant moves" in computer analysis just any decent sacrifice now?
I done a few, they are very stupid sometimes, like trading a rook for a pawn or something
They are rather odd
Here's where I had 4 brilliant moves all in one game: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-analysis/4-brilliancies-in-1-game-68344623
I also got one although it was a pretty good move,but I'm not sure if it was the best possible move.I mean I would never know because I'm not a computer but I think there was one more move that was also amazing
Don't forget that a brilliant move also concerns depth (as in the engine's d variable).
It's often the start of a winning line that would otherwise not have happened.
So before making a move, consider how many moves in the advantage becomes apparent. Maybe it looks like a mating threat but 10 moves later you are guaranteed to win a bishop. If you can see all the subtle shifts in position, that counts on the brilliancy ladder.
So if it's a short term advantage move, consider more contemplation on the position so you can make a deeper move. It's the thing with kids; the longer you teach them to wait and delay gratification, the smarter they become.
I particularly wanted to win because I lost as black by getting two moves in the wrong order in my mind.. It was a rated friendly and I didn't check it. Just played it and then resigned.
As a result of this game, I stopped playing that move order against the Nimzo. Black could have equalised with Re8 instead of g6. That's what I was thinking at the time .... if he plays Re8, I have no opening advantage any more. After g6, I thought I could win by busting the centre open with e4 and getting my pieces in faster. Just a case of getting the moves right, so I spent a lot of time on it. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

I had one recently, but was surprised. It was "hard to find", taking a pawn with my knight. He could have retaken my knight with his pawn, allowing me to fork his king and knight with a bishop. So, if he had gone for it, I would have gained two pawns. He did not, and in fact, he took a pawn elsewhere on the board, so I pretty much gained nothing.
It was kind of clever and kind of hard to find, but based on the strength of the move, I would never have called it brilliant. And maybe it wasn't even that hard to find. My opponent obviously figured out what I was trying to do and saw through it.
It obviously wasn't brilliant if it wasn't forcing, Mike. Who won and did your opponent end up with no detraction from his position after he took the other pawn? If so, it wasn't a forcing move.

I was +5 or so at the time and this damaged his pawn structure a little more, so I'd say it was helpful to me and I eventually won, but you are right....it sure wasn't forcing, and you can't link my win to it directly. Even if he'd have fallen for it, I'd say the same thing. His mistake would not signify brilliance on my part. But... I got a !!. ![]()


how to see if i have had any brilliant move ?? any option ?
