what does it take to get a brilliant move!

so i figured out that u get a brilliant move when by sacrifice you force a check mate or a free queen gain at least. to see that check two videos : 6 brilliant moves in a row by Hikaru and Intercontinental ballistic missile trap. Both those videos proove my theory. maybe there is more, but these are for sure right.

I didnt read all the comments just first page so sorry if someoe allready figured it out.

Got (I think) my first brilliant move today. My ELO is just below 500, only been playing for a couple of months but I feel something has finally clicked, last night the analysis tool rated me as playing at 1050. This game was messy, I was black, my opening was terrible played a line i had never played and was close to resigning. I guess the moral is don't resign. Brilliant move was a rook sack followed by a Queen mate. The second game was the one where I felt I played best (for my level, obviously). Got 87% Accuracy, yet Lichess gave it 95%. I doubt it was 95%, I am assuming the chess.com engine has more "depth". I really enjoy following Anna Cramling, Eric Rosen and Nelson Lopez, I have learned all my principles up until now from them. I really enjoy their style of teaching chess plus Anna's parents (two GMs!) are super cool! Can't stand Gotham or Naka. Hate their attitude. Magnus is cool but goes over my head, haha.

Guys a brilliant move is a move that sacrifices a piece and it also the best or nearly the best.

I just made my first brilliant move. The reason why this is a brilliant move is because you sacrifice your rook in order for your pawn to promote

Btw what is a great move because I feel like they're just random.

well a great move would be giving yourself a winning advantage

it could be sacrificing a piece for the sake of getting a little winning advantage

You really get a brilliant move when you are REALLY good at chess and can see things the computer cant

you get a brilliant when you find what the computer considers to be a very hard to find move that is usually a sacrifice of some sort
