I ever spotted a brilliant move around 200ish rating and i was shocked seeing the review
Low rated player plays “brilliant” move
Sort:
The formula is 10 blunders + 12 mistakes + 5 good moves = 1 brilliant move
The real "brilliant" moves are probably undetected. It's a move that initiates a winning long term plan, a tiny error from your opponent that can be exploited. It can't be a game changer or a M5 move, these move are often blunders from your opponent. I play a lot of daily games, some are suspicious, just report and take the loss.

i did a brilliant move with a queen sac cuz i thought it was checkmate. only after i sacced my queen i saw that it wasn't checkmate and i still did a good move because it would involve me winning material

I just finished a daily game with someone who has a pretty low rating and they pulled out a move that was classed as brilliant.
What’s the most likely scenario here...lucky, genuine brilliant move or using an engine?
Usually, a sac to get a winning position will be a briliant move. Of course, there are different scenarios possible
unless it is part of a forced checkmate, then it will prob just be a great move

I was 395 in my first brilliant move
I was 400 it was in a bullet game and I did the most simple move ever and the engine said brilliant

I have gotten two brilliant moves and i started chess 4 months ago roughly and i am around a 750 elo. the first ''brilliancy'' was at 600 elo and was a incredibly simple bishop sac to take a rook. The second game was actually today against my dad and was a knight sacrifice to win the queen and was cool i guess.

Not all brilliant moves are really that impressive, my last brilliant move was just a pretty surface level bishop sac for a fork on a king and rook, one brilliant move at low elo shouldn’t raise any alarms really, what you need to look at is their endgame accuracy
The title defines me when I reviewed a game yesterday.
I'm 551 and I think I've had three brilliant moves. I know I've had at least two. At the time, did I know they were brilliant? No. Did I capitalize on this brilliance? Also, no.
I'm like 780 and my opponent 800, I was about to mate with my rook, knight, and queen. But then be blocked and attacked my knight. I had two pawns on either side of the pawn he blocked me with. So if I took the pawn with my right pawn he can attack me, but if I take with my left one, he can take the knight.
My brilliant move was that I took with my left pawn, sacrificing my knight. But I just took with my pawn again, opening up my queen and rook. I ended up making a forced mate in the next few moves. Best game I've ever played.
Yeah, I made a brilliant move on my other account, but it was just me blundering tbh. Lol
I made a brilliant move at 418 elo

The system for giving brilliant moves is more generous to lower-rated players.
Brilliant moves are fairly easy to get in the new update. A simple backrank mate with alekhine's gun or simple tactics can usually be counted as brilliant moves as well.
