Are brilliant moves actually bad in game review?

What I have noticed is that in a game review, when someone gets a brilliant move, the first or second move before tends to be a mistake or inaccuracy move. Has any one else noticed this? If the move before could have been better, then that means that brilliant moves are almost a form of luck as your opponent has to make the right move for a brilliant move to even happen, and you could have played better before. So, does this simply mean brilliant moves are bad?

Not always, there is a plenty of correct ideas brilliants.

No. You don't know what exactly you mean. Brilliant moves aren't luck but depends with your tactical awareness. So... try researching and see

I guess that in my game reviews the only way I can get a brilliant move is if I have a move that might first be an inaccuracy and then later a brilliant, or if my opponent blunders and allow me to get the brilliant move. My thought process is that if you are playing an opponent who is good enough not to blunder, then the brilliant move wouldn’t have happened and because of that brilliant moves are skillful and require tactical awareness but are a form of luck, if you count luck as your opponent making a bad move. However on the contrary, it’s “lucky” that your opponent makes any specific move so it doesn’t mean a whole lot

Not always

Yes I do take back what I said, as a fork can happen where you have to either give your opponent a brilliant move or a piece, and there are many other ways that brilliant moves happen without mistakes. However, if both players play perfectly, then technically would there never be a brilliant move because there is no exploit?

So I guess the overall question was asking if brilliant moves are bad because it would require players to not be playing perfectly

And that is impossible, but this is a hypothetical question either way

On chess.com "brilliant move means "a sacrifice that's good".

It can happen even if both players play perfectly. It doesn't require anyone blundering.

recently got my first brilliant move and im proud of myself

@Heliocrab, there is THEORETICAL LINES involving brilliants, so no, they can happen even with no mistakes.

I don’t think you quite understand what I am saying, sorry if I’m not conveying my thoughts properly. What I am trying to say is that if you have the opportunity to have a brilliant move, then that means that somewhere earlier, your opponent made a move that allowed you to have a chance at getting the brilliant. It is still tactical as you have to plan and find the move, but the point is that your opponent could have had a different move and thus prevent the brilliant move from happening. It doesn’t mean they had a bad move, it simply means their move could have been different or slightly BETTER to prevent the brilliant move. Either way if there’s a position that allows a brilliant move then perhaps your opponent could have tried to prevent that position with a different/better move in this context.

There are theoretical lines with brilliants, but positions can be prevented, and with preventing the brilliant move in mind, a better move could have been played, asking the overall question.

I know what you guys are saying is true however I feel like I’m asking a different question that you are answering

done a brilliant move 2 days inn a row now

...

then i blundered and lost the game
