Unintentional Brilliancy
The second brilliant move is on move 45 of black taking back hxg5, because it still leaves the rook hanging, for the second consecutive move!
I was never aware of my rook being under the threat at all. Only 2 days later as I have analyzed it today that I saw this! ![]()
I am so happy that I did not see the threat because I would have just move my rook somewhere safe and there would have not been any brilliancy at all.
Sacrificing your rook without knowing isn't a bad thing.
But sacrificing your king (47.Rch1 - maybe not a forced checkmate, but Black has to drop a ton of material to avoid it) isn't something most people would like to do.

I am so happy that he/she/it did not see the move Rh7.
I did not even see that either during the game. ![]()
