Blueemu has probably been making brilliants before I even knew what chess was!
I'll be 70 next year.
I won my first official Brilliancy Prize - in a CFC-rated over-the-board tournament - back in 1974.
That's more than 50 years ago.

Oh wow
This one's relatively recent.
From the Malaysia vs Canada rated team match, board 1.
The move is 18. ... Ne5!!

Thanks! I consider that game to be my "immortal" game, as it's my game with the most brilliants and a very high accuracy(91% I think).
That game from Blueemu is very high quality, to say the least! You are a great Chess player, definitely better than myself, and I've always dreamed of playing tournaments against people from other countries. That's awesome!
This was probably the first truly great game I ever played. I've probably had a few others that can easily contest this one for the title of my best ever game, but for someone of my skill level at the time it was definitely a very memorable experience, even if my opponent was rated a fair bit lower.
The only contender I might have is this miniature. My opponent played so poorly that I would have had to try in order to lose, but 16. Nxb5 is easily one of my favorite moves of all time.
Very nice 👍
Yes, Levitsky vs Marshall. I was thinking it was Marshall but the move sticks in my mind more than any other details.
