Chess.com's brilliant moves are comparatively uncommon since the engine only recognizes them when a move is both highly effective and non-obvious, usually a deep tactic or unexpected sacrifice. They are not merely "great" moves; they are ones that exhibit inventiveness or ingenuity that even skilled players might overlook without careful consideration.

Was this written by AI?

None of it is true. A computer can't even comprehend things like "non-obvious" or "unexpected".

Instead, the definition is simple: "A sacrifice that's good".

The free analysis hides "great" and "brilliant" moves. Maybe its a good marketing strategy. ie. "people want to hear they're great and brilliant".

Over 3100 games, I've gotten around 20-30 brilliant moves. So, they are uncommon, but not "rare" in a sense. It's hard to calculate "rarity" or "probability" because brilliant moves aren't random. But, yes, they are "uncommon".

I touch on Chess.com's brilliant algorithm and classifications in my blog post:
