no because they never happen
what does it take to get a brilliant move!
Sort:
Rook takes g4 is considered a brilliant move, this is one I got fairly recently but I don't know how to attach the game so these screenshots should be good enough, I think the idea is that if bishop takes rook, the queen takes the pawn on f3 and if the bishop takes the other rook its forced checkmate and it's very difficult to avoid, i'm not sure exactly what makes this brilliant and not just best move but yeah this is my contribution
I haven’t got one, usually it says ‘good’ ‘perfect’ or ‘bets move’.
According to chess.com, it’s a best move that’s hard to find, even by the engine. In other words, a low depth analysis by the engine doesn’t see it, but after a high depth analysis, it finds it.
Can someone tell what brilliant moves are there for beginners?
thx guys
In this position, white plays Qxh7+ and it is considered a brilliant move.
Queen sacrifice leads to elegant checkmate.
This one was marked as a brilliant move. It was doubly satisfying that I knew that it would be when I played it. I've had 2 others, but that was before I knew how to save my games.
i think it is the best move, and the second-best move is really far from the best. Like if the best move is +3 but the second best move is -2 or something, and if you play the best move, then i think it is a brilliant move.
@peace - sometimes when you run the analysis of a game and look at the key moments, some purple text will say “critical move, there is only one good move in the position.” I’ve never seen a critical move be a brilliant, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be.
// And then chess.com changed the definition of what qualified as a brilliant move in the fall of 2021. (To be a decent sacrifice.)
And suddenly everyone was getting piles of brilliant moves... (Justbefair)
This rook move helped me get a mate in 4, I believe.
I just had a brilliant critical move. New to playing still but was so excited

I’m confused how that’s a brilliant move when the queen is guarding
A brilliant move requires that you'll think a Lot:
In the following game, Nezhmetdinov thought for 40 minutes, or 30. a queen sac.

They are rare. I have had one or two, and wondered why.
I played Ra4. After Rxc8, Qxb3. There's no way to prevent checkmate on both a2 and b2. White resigns.
I've been playing chess for almost 4 years now on chess.com and I can only remember getting 1 or 2 'brilliant' move. Can anyone show me an example of one from their games?
