So, one day I was doing a game analysis. Someone had told me in order to get a brilliant move I had to sacrifice a piece, and it had to be the best move calculated by Stockfish to be a brilliant move. In one of my games, I HAD sacrificed my bishop, and it was a best move by Stockfish (the Game review said so.) BUT it was NOT a brilliant move for some reason. You are welcome to check out my game (it was against this person called Dripply_Nips101) and see the game review for yourself. Maybe it's just on my computer? (Also, I know brilliant moves are really rare but still)
I am confused
from the Support page:
Brilliant Moves are always the best or nearly best move in the position, but they are also special in some way.
We replaced the old Brilliant algorithm with a simpler definition: a Brilliant move is when you find a good piece sacrifice.
There are additional conditions:
-
You should not be in a bad position after a Brilliant move
-
You should not be completely winning even if you hadn't found the move.
We are also more generous in defining a piece sacrifice for newer players compared to those who are higher-rated.
