from the Support pages:
Brilliant Moves are always the best or nearly best move in the position, but they are also special in some way.
We replaced the old Brilliant algorithm with a simpler definition: a Brilliant move is when you find a good piece sacrifice.
There are additional conditions:
You should not be in a bad position after a Brilliant move
You should not be completely winning even if you hadn't found the move.
We are also more generous in defining a piece sacrifice for newer players compared to those who are higher-rated.
/ The last sentence means they are not so strict for new and low rated players.
A move must fit the following criteria to be brilliant:
1. It must sacrifice a piece (or ignore a threat on one).
2. It should worsen the opposing side's position no matter what they do (assuming they even have an option to not take it).
I've got about a dozen of them so far. Here's the first one I ever did.
Here, white has three legal moves:
1. Bxd3 (which is what they did). This move allows Nd5+ (which is what I did), winning the queen.
2. Kc2, giving up the queen.
3. Kb2, also giving up the queen.
I went on to win this game after my opponent later blundered both of their rooks.

Maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet today, but what about Qxd3?

actually, ure right
You need to upgrade it to find a brilliant move it is very hard to find you should not be in a bad position or good position
a brilliant move it is very hard to find
This is simply not true. Most moves called "brilliant" are completely obvious short-term sacrifices.
Why would you like to have brilliant moves?
Isn't it better to just win?
the rarity is just… I don’t even know how to describe. It makes you proud of urself!
tbf though I get one every few days sometimes even twice a day
wow u must be skilled then
