wow !
My first ever "brilliant" move... but I have no idea why it is :(
Sort:
U forced a queen trade n gave yrself time to “regroup” and develop pieces
But I’m not an expert
It is just what I think

Sorry but "wow !" doesn't really tell me anything. Are you surprised at the move? Or surprised that I don't know what it is?
The instant computer analysis is just that - it gives you a snapshot of a game evaluation based on a single pass of the Chess.com (limited) engine. The resulting commentary is not always accurate. This means excitement about "brilliant" moves, without further analysis, isn't really warranted.
What appears to be happening here is that you played the best move in the position, with any other alternative losing a piece. On a relative (not absolute) scale, that makes it far better than any other move, making the evaluation algorithm call it "brilliant". From a human perspective, it's not so extraordinary, since exchanging pieces seems rather natural here.
bc you prevented Bh2+ Kxh2 and Ng4+ forking the king and queen
just the same for me:
first ever brilliant move. but why? I mean... it clearly saved me from certain defeat, but isn't it obvious?

Yep exactly this.
We typically want to trade our bishop for our opponent's bishop (instead of our bishop for their knight), but there's a reason why Bf4 isn't great here.
Bxf6 is brilliant because it shows that you calculated and assessed all the lines resulting from Bf4, and concluded that Bxf6 is better.
Can anybody look at this move(before my move and then the move I made) and tell my why it was considered 'brilliant'??
