Hi can anyone shed light on why this rook move was highlighted as brilliant? From what I can tell assuming my opponent didn't blunder it was at best a draw. [Event "ianrapid85 vs. Santito999"] [Site "Chess.com"] [Date "2021-08-02"] [White "ianrapid85"] [Black "Santito999"] [Result "1-0"] [WhiteElo "1066"] [BlackElo "1045"] [TimeControl "blitz"] [Termination "ianrapid85 won by checkmate"] 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Bb4 3. Nd5 Bc5 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. Nxe5 Nxe4 6. Qh5 O-O 7. d3 Nf6 8. Nxf6+ Qxf6 9. Ng4 Qe7+ 10. Be2 Re8 11. O-O d5 12. Bg5 f6 13. Bh6 gxh6 14. Nxh6+ Kh8 15. Nf7+ Kg7 16. Qh6+ Kxf7 17. Bh5+ Kg8 18. Rae1 Qg7 19. Rxe8+ Bf8 20. Qe3 Bd7 21. Rd8 a5 22. Qc5 b6 23. Qxd5+ Kh8 24. Re1 Qg5 25. Rxf8+ Kg7 26. Qf7+ Kh6 27. Rh8 Qxh5 28. Rxh7+ Kg5 29. Rxh5+ Kf4 30. Qxf6+ Kg4 31. Qg5# 1-0
