Chess Analysis - Brilliant

Since I started playing chess untill now, I have only got one "Brilliant" move and I am pretty sure that was by accident because at that time I was around 1200. According to chess.com definition, you get "Brilliant" when you find the "best" and "tricky" move. So, my question is, is there a certain rating that you must at least be at to get/make a "Brilliant" move? And if there is, what would the rating be?

Hi,

I think that chess.com's engine will create the same evaluation report regardless of the players' ratings. It would be impractical for them to design an engine that behaves differently depending on player ratings. From what I've seen, "Brilliant" moves are the ones that are not only the best move, but it was also only found by the engine after a deeper search. For example, if the engine evaluates a move like "Rc7" to be the best when it's at depth 8, depth 12, depth 16 etc, then it probably was an 'obvious' move and wouldn't be classified as brilliant. However, if you made a move that the engine didn't see until it reached a large depth, then that move would probably be classified as "Brilliant"

I didn't mean that the engine's evaluation will be different depending. I was just asking what rating you must at least be at to find those "Brilliant" moves. Forexample, GM's can easly find Brilliant moves while people like me struggle to do so.

Oh, I see what you mean. Honestly, "Brilliant" move awards are random in a lot of ways. Sometimes, you may just happen to make a move that's not obvious for the computer at first, but later it finds it to be the best. Humans fundamentally think differently from computers so a "Brilliant" to a human isn't the same as a computer. For example, if you find a really beautiful tactic, any human would say that's a brilliant move, but the computer might have seen it instantly and would consider that move as just another normal move. But if you make a move in a closed position that let's say makes progress towards a long term plan (like a developing move), the move looks completely ordinary to you, but the computer might say "Hey, I didn't see that plan at first, but now I do, it's brilliant!". So I don't think rating plays too much into finding these moves, and you probably don't want to take these scores too seriously. Hope this helps  

@Ellipsoul Thanks for the information! Thank you for answering as well! Just one more question. I am now stuck at 1400 - 1500. What should I do to improve? 

I think if you're around 1400-1500 in blitz, you should try playing slower time controls for a start. You'll be able to develop your calculation and intuition skills more effectively in longer time controls, before jumping into shorter times where the game may just be a huge time scramble. There's a lot of amazing free tools on chess.com for improvement, definitely do some tactics and make use of the opening explorer to find a repertoire. You can also find a coach of course, if that's in your budget. Have fun  

@Ellipsoul Thanks for replying! I wish someone could be my coach. It is just that I can't really afford it. Sorry for asking you too much.

If you go to the coaching section on forums, I see there are a few people there offering free coaching. Maybe you could have a look there

Thank you so much! you didn't really need to do that

@MantisKwon What is this?
