great move didn't feel that great Chess Analysis Board and PGN Editor - Chess.com
Is a great move better than a best move?
Great is "hard to find" and better. Brilliant is the best.
It’s better but not harder to find. I took a hanging queen that was one square in front of me and it was a great move
Best is the best move according to the engine. Great is the best move according to the engine, and immediately turns the game into a winning position for you. For example, taking a hanging queen, executing a checkmate when your opponent blundered mate in 1, etc. Brilliant is the best move according to the engine, immediately turns the game into a winning position for you, and involves some sort of material sacrifice or complex positional tactic.
Here’s an example of the two:
(This is a terrible gambit if black knows what he’s doing, but it’s a trap that shows brilliant and great moves.)
White sacrifices the knight to lure the king away from the defense of the queen, making it a brilliant move. If black doesn’t take the knight, he will still lose heavy amounts of material because the knight is forking the queen and rook, as well as having taken the pawn earlier as well. Then, when the king takes the knight, white sacrifices his bishop, giving a check and revealing an attack on black’s queen with his own, so black can’t trade queens because that would leave his king hanging. Black is forced to take the bishop in order to maintain at least some material, and it can’t go back to e8 because the white bishop x-rays that square. So, after the king takes the bishop, the black queen is free for the taking, and when the white queen takes it, it’s a great move because it immediately gives white a winning advantage.
A great move is a move that is either the only move that works, or a hard - to - find move.
A best move is the best move according to the engine, but not too special
hope you undertsood

Explains it perfectly
Yes a great move is more powerful than a best move because a best move is a star move and great move is a ! Most close to a brilliant move a brilliant move is a !! So that is why

This is complete nonsense.
The real answer is easy to find, it was explained in this topic already.
Ignore it. You should be able to decide self what moves you want to be proud of. It doesn’t matter if the engine thinks it’s great or brilliant. It’s just a stupid algorithm that decides what moves deserve exclams.
No, in most contexts, "best" is considered a higher standard than "great"; meaning a "best" move is always considered better than a "great" move, as "best" implies the absolute optimal choice while "great" could simply mean a very good move, but not necessarily the absolute best option available.

"In most contexts" maybe, but in this case you are wrong.
In chess.com parlance, "great move" means "the only move that's good". So it's the best move, and also the position is such that all other moves are bad.
I don't know the difference between a great move and a best move. Is there a difference and if there is what's the difference?
if there is no brilliant move, I believe that the best move is the best move, and a great move is a move that changed the course of the game, once my opponent found the first move of a mate in two, and it was alalysed as a great move, in the analysis I played a mate in one that he should have played instead, and it was classified best, so I think that best is slightly better.
Great moves fall into two categories:
- A move that properly punishes a mistake (usually a hanging piece).
- The only good move in any position, no matter how obvious it is (unless it is the only move); every other possible move is an inaccuracy or worse.
A correct follow-up to a brilliant may also get a !.
A great move is like only one move is that is great and you found it like that now does it make sense?
