I spent the last ten to fifteen moves or so looking for a drawing opportunity. When it is finally there, partly due to my efforts, but mostly due to failure on my opponent's part, it is deemed "brilliant" and "not an easy move to find". C'mon. Game Review could be a little less cliché in explanations.

The definition of brilliant here is a move that is good or best that also sacrifices material.  So, that qualifies. The move explanation isn't necessarily the best.
