First Brilliant move! Let's go!

Chess is freakin' hard. Taking a little time to enjoy the little victories. While watching some Chessbrah content something that stood out was him talking about when you are up in material value, don't be afraid to sac a higher value piece for a lower value piece if it's a good move. I saw the opportunity to leave my opponent with nothing but a rook for high value pieces and took it. To my surprise, in the game review the computer said it was a brilliant move. First time I got one of those!

Great job! Although, I am having trouble piecing together why it’s a brilliant move. Do you mind providing the previous moves so I can figure it out. First brilliant moves are always awesome to see. Again, good job. 👍

This goes to the move previous to that. I think it was considered brilliant because by sacrificing the rook I took both of the opponents bishops.

Ok. Now I see. Really great job finding that move! I’m rated a little higher than that and I don’t think I would’ve seen it.
