On move 12, (I was playing black,) I played Nd7. It was considered a brilliant move, but I don't know why. Game review wouldn't tell me either. Any thoughts?
Why was this move considered a brilliant move?

Brilliant moves just mean that you gave up material without losing evaluation. Basically, you sacrificed a piece in a way that paid off.
I don’t know, but I think it is the only move and supports your position

"Supports your position"? What does that even mean?
And of course it's not "the only move".

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not brilliant. Sometimes the evaluation is stupid. It once told me that a move which trades queens was worse than one that loses a queen and a rook 🤦🏻♂️

There is a 100% chance that you are wrong. You simply missed something and didn't bother to find out what.

Yes, I missed how losing a queen and a rook is better when you're already at a disadvantage and neither threatened rook can deliver check or do any sort of forcing move, so you lose it for nothing.
Just accept it, bots are wrong sometimes. That's why we've never made a truly unbeatable chess bot 🤷🏻♂️

What you described is completely impossible. It would have been impossible even in the time of very early (and bad) chess computers in 1960.
