It looks like all the stuff I typed disappeared.
Anyhow, the move 25. Rae1 is "brilliant" in that it willingly gives up the rook to weave a mating net for the enemy king. The game itself is total garbage: for example, 9. Bd5+ would pick up both the B & R on b7 & a8.

You put the rook on the same square as your enemy bishop, so bishop takes and your other rook takes. then you move your rook all the way up checking the king forcing them to sac the queen and you take their queen with your queen, and thats Checkmate <3
once I SACKED my bishop to win a bishop. like that isn't a brilliant sack since its just a tactic
