Also, a brilliant move is a move that sacrifices a piece but is the best move regardless

Brilliant move: a move that's the best or almost the best move in a given position, and is also special in some way. Brilliant moves are often strong sacrifices of a piece or an exchange.
Great move: a move that is critical to the outcome of the game, such as turning a losing position into a winning one
Best move: a move that is the only move that benefits, often when there are little options

"google definitons" ?
A "brilliant move" is considered better than a "great move" because "brilliant" implies a higher level of ingenuity and complexity, while "great" is a more general term of praise for a good move, often used for moves that are simply strong or well-executed, but not necessarily exceptionally creative.
Why do you even care magipi?
How much elo do you have?
Do you want to battle because I can beat you for a fact?
If you don't want to battle then shut up.
When I say shut up I meant it not in a bad way but for you to be quiet
It might take you a while to read this, but if you do.
Let me tell you this...
You suck
And its nice if you like chess analysis Chessian-Ian
Peace out
by the way if you say somethings wrong
I used google
oh and I went on the wrong one
but anyway
a great move is way better than a best move because if you are losing and you find a really good move
and you get it
you can literally change the game for you to make a draw or a winning position
whereas the best move won't do that good
so use your brains everyone.

When I do a creative move and have a mate plan that works it's called a mistake

A great move is the only good/reasonable move in any given position, regardless of how obvious it is. If other moves are okay as well, then it's just "best."
On very rare occasions, it's used for brilliant sacrifices that are especially common and have lost a bit of their shock value as a result. For example, the queen sacrifice for a smothered mate usually only gets a "!" - if it does get the brilliant tag, it will most likely change to "!" or "Best" later. A sacrifice that is not forced and doesn't severely alter the game, but is nonetheless very good, may also receive only a "!".
