2 brilliant (!!) moves in the same game

Sort:

I think I've never had a brilliant move before (In the games I've analyzed so far) and here I had to in 2 the same game :

If someone could explain to me the "brilliancy" in these moves would be great, especially 25.Nc3  where I just saved my knight from a certain death wink.png

Anyway so sad I managed to blunder despite all my brilliancy sad.png

Especially weird since the evaluation does not change much when you play the "briliant" moves.

I think the evaluation isn't supposed to change if you play the best move. On my end I don't see it changing after playing these moves.

The evaluation shouldn't change if you play the best move and the computer foresaw that move.  I thought "brilliant" meant so good even the computer didn't see the move, in which case it should change the evaluation, I would think.

wow

I dont see why knight to  e 5 would be considered brilliant i think most people woudl have seen that opportunity.  but hey whatever the computer thinks is brilliant lol who are we mere mortals to argue, unless there was a follow up to that move that no one could have possibly seen.

ryanovster

i should have 1500 brilliant moves by now if thats brilliant lol

Misplle

Yeah, same here. Also, I didn't find Brilliant Move number 2.

ryanovster

Wait what happened? The analysis is not the same now it only shows 1 "brilliant" move and its not even one that was showed in yesterday's analysis !

A brilliant move in the computer analysis means a move that the engine does not consider best at a low depth, but it realizes that it's the best move at the depth you have selected. For example, if you set the depth to 18, a brilliant move will be considered a move that the engine evaluates as not best at d<=17 (17 is just an example, I don't know where the cutoff is), but it realizes that it's best at d=18. If you analyse the same game at a higher depth, a move that was marked as an inacuracy at d=18 may be marked as a brilliancy at d=30. This means that a lot of the time, moves that are considered brilliances might be very easy to see for a human, it's just that the computer needs a higher depth to correctly evaluate them.

I don't know why, but there is only 1 brilliant move in my analysis and the one that appeared (Ne5) is not really hard to find because it attacks the queen and centralizes the knight so...

Congrats PawnToBthree, I've played hundreds of bot games looking for the elusive brilliant move.  I didn't think it was possible.

Yep I don't know why the analysis changed completely frustrated.png

 

But with this analysis showing an extra brilliant move, can we now say that I had 3 brilliant moves in the same game? That must be a new record, I hope chess.com has a special prize for me grin.png

Worst Brilliant moves I have ever seen

Immaculate_Slayer

They were not brilliant at all.
Chess.com's stockfish evaluation on how good a move is sucks, honestly.

It may affirm that a genial sacrifice made by a super GM is a blunder while considering so common things such as capturing a piece or returning an attacked knight brilliant.

That is very strange.
