Why is this a brilliant move?

I was awarded a 'brilliant' for this move in my last completed daily game:
Can anyone see any other move worth playing?


It's because you get to take the rook on f1 while his king gets locked on the h file. After taking the rook you have a very strong move f5, threatening the rook lift to mate.

The "Brilliant" moves are untrustworthy. It's what the engine thinks is brilliant. A more brilliant move often is one where there is only one move to keep initiative which is hard to find, but 'obvious' to the engine.

In an absolutely terrible game where we both played like drunks my 21st move when I moved my black king out of check was deemed as brilliant!!
WTF?

Hey all,
Trust me I'm not trying to sound like a conceited player, but the move I made below really just seems like the intuitive best move. What do you all suppose the machine would have suggested? Why did this turn out to be a "brilliant move"?
that's pretty obvious its not very brilliant

the machine probably analysed deeper and saw through more threats or stuff
yeah that's probably it

Hi everyone. I was watching my first games and I found my first brilliant move. But here I didn't have any tactics or strategy, and it was a purely intuitive move. but at the moment I don't see why it is a brilliant. Can someone explain to me why. (9.Nxg5)
