P Thank you to @CAMERONI13, who was with me in person and helped me make the move.

They usually are moves that set up mate or sac something for more material, very hard to find tho

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

it allows black to fork pieces though

Do you guys think the computer factors in elo when deciding if a move is brilliant? I'm wondering because it seems as though beginners get close to the same amount of brilliant moves as advanced players, so maybe it's with respect to your rating? For example, I know I once got a brilliant move on a tactic that probably would have been obvious for anyone above like 1800.

Well usually brilliant moves involve sacrificing a piece(or pieces), usually important pieces to either win material, checkmating the king or to gain stalemate.

As you can see, Rxf7+ is brilliant because after the king takes, the queen checks from f1, forking the king and the rook, and then after the king moves, the queen takes the opponent's rook. Here white gains an extra pawn.
