Brilliance or blunder?

Against certain players, I come up with really great moves to win.  I never find those same "brilliant" moves with better players.  Is that because the moves against the lesser player are really the result of the opponent's blunders, as opposed to my great playing?  Seems that way.

Maybe the brilliant moves that work against lower rated players are in fact not that brilliant and when you try stuff like that against better players it gets exploited.

Look at it like this, if I went to say a 10 year old kids  baseball game as a 27 year old former high school baseball pitcher and pitched in the game I would look like I am better than Roger Clemens with what I throw at them. Take my same pitching into MLB and I would get home runs hit on me every other pitch.

Probably a combination of the two -- when you play weaker players there are more opportunities for tactics that can't be refuted due to your opponents blunders before your "brilliancy" and less refutation of unsound tactics due to your opponents blunders after your "brilliancy".

Yes, I am beginning to see these moves as my exploitation of obvious blunders or opening errors, as opposed to genius on my part.
