Brilliant moves are hard to find but can change the tide of the game if the opponent is unaware (they usually are).

you're still after a good move.

Brilliant moves are hard to get, REALLY HARD, and shaming somebody for wanting one is like shaming somebody for taking 90 years to just make a Time Machine.

You have only been a member for two weeks and have only played 45 games.

Be patient.

from the Support pages:

Brilliant Moves are always the best or nearly best move in the position, but they are also special in some way.

We replaced the old Brilliant algorithm with a simpler definition: a Brilliant move is when you find a good piece sacrifice.

There are additional conditions:

You should not be in a bad position after a Brilliant move

You should not be completely winning even if you hadn't found the move.

We are also more generous in defining a piece sacrifice for newer players compared to those who are higher-rated.

/ The last sentence means they are not so strict for new and low rated players.

A move must fit the following criteria to be brilliant:

1. It must sacrifice a piece (or ignore a threat on one).

2. It should worsen the opposing side's position no matter what they do (assuming they even have an option to not take it).

I've got about a dozen of them so far. Here's the first one I ever did.

Here, white has three legal moves:

1. Bxd3 (which is what they did). This move allows Nd5+ (which is what I did), winning the queen.

2. Kc2, giving up the queen.

3. Kb2, also giving up the queen.

I went on to win this game after my opponent later blundered both of their rooks.
