How to play brilliant moves

A Brilliant Move on Chess.com usually happens when you make a great move that involves a sacrifice and the engine thinks it’s the best or one of the best moves. 💎♟️

How to get a Brilliant Move
1. Sacrifice a piece (like a knight, bishop, rook, or queen).
2. The sacrifice must lead to a big advantage (mate, winning material, or a winning position).
3. The engine must evaluate it as very strong or the best move.

Simple ways to try getting one
• Sacrifice on h7 or h2 with a bishop or knight to attack the king.
• Queen sacrifice for checkmate.
• Rook sacrifice to open the king’s defenses.
• Deflection sacrifice (give a piece to pull a defender away).

Example idea
• Your opponent’s king is castled.
• You play Bxh7+ sacrificing your bishop.
• The king moves, then you attack with Ng5, Qh5, etc., leading to mate or winning material.
