Apparently literally taking en passant is a "brilliant" move in chess.com analysis now.

Isn’t that a great move and not a brilliant?

Engine disagrees.

If bishop takes rook, then the pawn will become a queen.

If en passant didn't happen after c4, the black pawn could have been taken by the other white pawn.

It does not matter what white does, the pawn will promote after en passant.

Is every en passant move or just that one cause i think that was just a great move in general. I mean theres nothing they can do to stop you from promoting it so I think thats why its brilliant.

Not every en passant is a brilliant move.

it already is though, if you get 2 en passant you instantly win, and 1 is brilliant

I have a brilliant move but not en passant

Apparently a lot of guys (including the OP) think that the move is labeled brilliant because it is en passant. My brain hurts.

The move is labelled brilliant in analysis.

Yes, I realize that the move is a basic tactic, because the rook is hanging.\

I'm trying to say that the move is not brilliant, and joked that it was because of en passant.

The rook is just hanging

That’s why it detects brilliant

Great move usually refers to the only good move in the position. Brilliant moves aren't necessary to be the only best move, but it usually involves sacrifice.
