Why was 6. Bxf7+ a brilliancy? It was the obvious move.

Chess.com dumbed down the standards for brilliant moves because people kept complaining about never getting one. I have about 20 "brilliant" moves and I'd be willing to bet none of them are actually brilliant.

i have around 40, and probably only a few are actually brilliancies. most of them are simple back rank sacs for mates, discovered checks, the damiano brilliant, and that one bishop sacrifice that is common in the opening similar to the one you showcased there.
