@diamondsalamander I am not a good chess player. In college I was around 1400 in classical play but quit and have just come out of "retirement." If you are serious about the pursuit, I recommend going the Dan Heisman club and adding whomever seems to be an active member. These are not casual, anecdotal screwballs.
Brilliant moves aren't all that brilliant

1400 eilo is still better then 85% of all players.
I don't understand the algorithm at all. For example, you showed in your screenshots that some pretty normal moves are "Brilliant", yet I've never gotten a Brilliant Move in my 3 years of playing chess, no matter how good of a move I make. Before you ask, my elo is around 300 (at the time of writing this), so the algorithm should go easy on me. I literally have no idea what it expects from me...

Brilliants are moves that sacrifice material and are good or best. I only have 0.1 % of my moves in blitz and 0.2% in rapid that were considered brilliant. That level is not uncommon, so they are fairly rare
I was so surprised to see that I got 2 brilliants in a row in a game with the computer (Maximum(3200))
Here is the gameplay
White: Me, Black: Computer
I get happy when I get brilliants 😊
They look brilliant
