    My only brilliant move I had was when I was losing so astronomically bad but moved my queen where it forced a repeat draw The game was like "brilliant he didn't lose."

      I got a brilliant move today and I guess I didn't realize how rare that is. I'm not even 1200 in rapid on a consistent basis and I don't run the analysis on very many games but I was quite surprised to see the blue!
      (It was just using a pin to get a bishop and I of course lost all advantage by making a mistake on the next move. But hey, I won in the end!)

      So it's brilliant because that queen move hangs your queen to Knight check discovery, but even further past that it's winning for white
      Since you didn't see that the move should lose your queen, and your opponent didn't see he wins the queen either, I'm not sure this counts haha, gg on the win

      That isn't what happened, NL hung the queen the move before the brilliant move. If his opponent saw it, NL's queen was dead no matter what. The sensible move afterwards is taking the pawn with discovered check, losing his queen for the opponent's knight, bishop, and initiative in return. The reason NL's move was a brilliant move is because it sacs the queen and requires a very specific set of difficult to find moves, including 2 sacrifices, to make it not wasted. Opponent didn't see the queen was hanging so we didn't see it play out, but no chance NL would have seen the 6-8 move follow up with 2 sacrifices (he even is surprised by the suggestion in the analysis), so it would be a bad move because he would have lost the queen for little in return if the opponent saw Nc4.

      @@bobskinny361 that is completely wrong. The computer does not miss moves that simple. Its eval function would probably call that the best move at a depth of 3, much less 20. It has to do with the relative eval of the best and second best move, basically, if you dont play X move, your position evaluates drastically lower than if you did. And maybe they have some additional algorithm which attempts to determine how "difficult to spot" a move is, which is obviously not working as intended lol.

The engine says a move is brilliant if every other move makes you lose or diminish your points a lot and you makes the only one fine. So, on this video you see, if he makes any move that isnt moving the Queen, he loses on spot, so that's why moving the Queen is "brilliant", the move maintains he on the game. Probably on the other guy game, the King moving was the only move that didnt lose.

    @Flying_Moose 3 года назад +1

    The reason it is marked as a brilliant move is because the engine thought he purposefully blundered his queen into a position where it was trapped a few moves earlier to get into this line that the engine itself did not even consider, and not because the move itself is better than just giving it up to the knight.

  • @mtaur4113
    @mtaur4113 3 года назад

    There are a lot of lines and if Black plays the better ones, they end up ahead on material but the H8 rook is still stuck. I think if the Black Queen retreats, it hangs a Bishop, while the Queen trap line trades down lots of stuff. White still goes from way behind to even in the evaluation.
    The actual response was that really bad pawn capture that threw the game.

    @ohheyimjulez9690 3 года назад

    i’m case anyone confused,
    a move is “brilliant” if the player plays the best move, but the engine doesn’t realize why it is the best move until it analyzes a winning move sequence after the move is played. this may mean that you played a move that genuinely was outside of the box, or the computer just didn’t see a certain winning move sequence until after the move was played.
    it is wiser to listen to chess experts on whether a move is “brilliant” or not in cases like this, and not the computer. because a queen sacrifice mate in 13 is brillant, but to the computer it’s just the best move.

    Oi NL, at 11:06 you had Bc7 and then you win on spot with the mother of all pins.
    (Queen can't capture because pinned.
    Bishop can't capture because pinned.
    Next move you capture his bishop on D8, followed by winning his rook, and the game :)
    Edit: it's defendable. Engine recommends a similar idea with bg7, putting pressure on Black's dark squared bishop, if he advances the f pawn, you can even sac your bishop because there's a forced mate in 5 xD it's a great line.

    I had a brilliant move today aswell suprsingly early on in the game.
    I really did not expect it to be a brilliant move as it seems pretty straightforward
    Im playing as Black and this is the sequence that transpired:
    E4, C5, D4, CxD4, QxD4, NC6, QC3, NF6
    Now the white player went E5 threatening my Knight, ignore this and simply play E6. My opponent took my knight with his pawn ExF3, and this is where I played Bb4, pinning the queen with protection from my other knight. There is no way for White to keep his queen. This works fairly well on new players
