You sack the knight, and if they accept, you take the rook

So a brilliant move must be a sacrifice?

And you must be at a drawn position or less, stuff like this does not count, even though it's pretty amazing.

I sacrificed my rook (brilliant move according to the game review) At like 150 rapid. And it led to a checkmate 1 move after.

mine was about like 600 chess.com, or 1200 over the board, it was the knight sac in the fried liver attack

600 on the dot

I channeled my inner GothamChess and disposed of THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOK

I actually have a lot of brilliant rook sacrifices under my belt. I think I've only had three brilliants that weren't rook sacs. Two bishop sacs, one knight sac.

I sacked my rook in a recent 10 mu in game, to queen, but it was only a good move, as you could've played something better. sad.png
