Brilliant moves often are in gambits, pinning, and forking.
Nowadays for me, I often get brilliant moves like my first double brilliant
The white knight cannot be taken because of loss material and due to the pin when pinned
I actually store my brilliants in what's called chess.com "Library" so I can keep track of brilliant moves
I do have another brilliant move to!
This brilliant move is caused by forks, sacrificing the queen to gain extra material.
I have 200 elo and got 2 games with brilliant moves in a row😭

I have no idea what that is even supposed to mean? All I'm concerned about is will it make me a better chess player?
I think a brilliant move is when you sacrifice an important piece like knight bishop rook or maybe even queen. I got one yesterday for the 2nd time (ever) and I thought it was a blunder but here you go (don't mind my elo this is an alt account I made like 2 days ago)

I'd say the move itself wasn't necessarily brilliant, but rather the two moves leading up to it that set it up.

Maybe you should mention which move exactly was marked brilliant

Maybe you could do the bare minimum to scroll and see it highlighted on the 15th move...
