Does anyone know how often someone get a brilliant move, the one above best move. And if it is better then best move how can best move be called best move. Anyway my main question is how often is brilliant move givin out. Like I in 10,000 games or something. Anyone know?

It's pretty rare, but also not impossible. It's just a move that the computer was not prepared for and calculated that move as a better one than the best move it could find. I don't know how rare brilliant moves are but the first and maybe only time I discovered a brilliant move through analysis was when I analyzed a Bobby Fischer game.

I sometimes do brilliant moves in my blitz games but they don't help me win games all the time. Important thing is doing good moves by every move and not blundering
