this queen sac felt brilliant at the time, especially in blitz! The engine classifies it as best although imo it has a sacrifice leading to a decisive advantage. Whites only move is to trade down to a losing endgame but if he tries anything else like what you saw here it’s mate or a worse position. The whole game this guy was very defensively minded so I had to get very creative to break through his defenses when he tried to establish some counterplay.
I’m shocked 32. … Qg4+ was best and not brilliant

I'm not sure but my guess is that there were other good moves that win you the game. Still a nice game though.

"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."
