Unintentional Brilliancy

I played a game a couple of days ago and I noticed that I had played 2 brilliant moves. However I did not recall to had played spectacular moves in that game. 
So today I analyzed the game and I realized that I was sacrificing my rook without knowing it was under attack, not once but twice in a row. 
I can not recall to have played pawn-brilliant moves before this game. Amazing. Aaa-mazing! grin

I didn't see your second unintentional sacrifice.

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! grin

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. happy
