Most brilliant move of all time?

Sort:
technical_knockout

morphy's Q-sac to mate with 2 knights.

in my opinion the best move was between Fro Trommsdorf and Emil Joseph Deimer, Fro played b3 which is a stunning move becasue if you took his queen then the a pawn will be captured and there is no way to stop that pawn promoting and you can try escaping but Re2 forces you back and a1=R#, if you took with the c pawn then Nb3 axb3 Rc3++ Kb1 and the knight will come in with the bishop and it is forced mate.If you take the night prior then Re2#. This move has so many lines to it and actually in the game Fro had 3 brillincies and Emil had 1. Incredible game you should analyze it

I cannot believe Rxd4 was wrong in the Kasparov-Topalov game, that’s insane, how do you come up with Kb6 after that?
The computer didn’t even recommend me that in that position, it only recognized the position as losing (albeit only slightly) for white after I’d played it on the board
I wonder how much would have changed if Topalov had played that move

The final move of the "gold coins game" always comes to mind for me. My great grandparents weren't even thought of at the time, yet even I can picture how absolutely nuts that must have felt when it happened. That's the kind of move you would have to spent a full minute debating on whether to play it because you think it should theoretically work, but you're not entirely sure, and it would completely implode your position if it doesn't. And evidently, he had it planned well in advance, knowing full well that he was about to make history.

If it were white's turn. He'd have to play Rd8 if he wanted to mate black!
