Brilliant move promotion

Avatar of BobRossOfWar

Hello folks. I have an idea for a promotion on chess.com. Get a brilliant move and gain a free review! I imagine that a lot of people pay for, and enjoy the brilliant move icon. Maybe some viewers are unaware of just how awesome it is. Some lower rated players who only get 1 review per day, and maybe not a lot of brilliants, could go a long stretch before one happens in the game they review, although they do occur in other games. This promotion could open the eyes of some potential customers, giving them a sample, upon good chess of course. Just an idea for the team @ Chess.com. Good work guys and girls.

Not the best idea, as chess.com would need to review all games for free members, which wouldn't be worth it for chess.com.

The idea is for a promotion that lasts a limited time, and grants a free review upon making a Brilliant move. The system already checks for this, because when I do get one without having a review, it shows it but with ?? after it because it isnt reviewable. I dont think this would be hard to do, but maybe Im wrong.

The system does a quick check that would determine if a sacrifice exists that might qualify for brilliant. To determine if a brilliant really exists, a deeper run would be required and that would take significant resources to run and isn't likely.

Appreciate the response but Im still not sold this isnt feasible. According to some research it costs chess.com less than 1 cent to do a review. At that rate. with a subscription bringing in $150, if only 1 person out of 15,000 realizes how awesome gaining Brilliants is and Subs, this would be about a break even proposition. Not to mention any added exposer through running an event. 1 out of 15,000 odds seems well within the framework of success for the promotion.
