The chess.com analysis makes no sense. You cannot call everything a blunder (??). The logical way is to call a move that changes evaluation from draw to loss or back from won to draw a mistake (?) and to call a move that changes the evaluation from won to loss as a double mistake or blunder (??).
Best move vs Excellent

Usually there are several moves that do not change evaluation. Then there is no best move.
Brilliancy has to do with esthetic appeal. A brilliant move is usually the unique winning move that involves a sacrifice, but is a quiet move, i.e. no check or capture. Example of a brilliant move: 30 Ba3

a brilliant move is a move where it is the only good move in a position and you have to play a correct combination of moves to guarantee yourself an advantage. it has nothing to do with whether or not the engine saw the move or if it is better than the best move
wrong the brilliant move is a move that the engine had to go higher depth to see why it is so good wich means its better than the best move
I don't like it when it says "You could've checkmated faster" I don't care at least I checkmate.

Excellent moves are moves that are almost as good as the best move, they are not better.
every day i play chess with computer, i gets 6 or 7 best moves
Can you please explain the difference between all the moves, such as blunder, mistake, inaccuracy, missed, good, great, and brilliant moves?

An excellent move is a nice move that is not as good as a best move.

Think of an "excellent move" as an almost as good alternative to a "best move"

A brilliant move it is hard Deven a computer can not see it ef it does not have more depth nobody can ever get unless if you are a good player

Not true. Years ago some user came up with this nonsense, and even though it's obviously nonsense, it somehow lives and spreads like a virus.
The real definition: a brilliant move is a "sacrifice that is good". 99% of the time it's an obvious short-term sacrifice that's very easy to find.

A brilliant move is only brilliant when you can explain it.
An objective brilliant move that you cannot explain is in fact a blunder to this player. Like when you hang a piece by accident but it turned out to be good somehow.

In my understanding, an excellent move must be better than best move but the frase "Best move" must be by definition the best move, even better than excellent. Which is it????
The analysis is complete bollox. If you take the time to actually analyze your game on your own or with engine assistance you will find moves that are called inaccurate, good, or even blunder when your analysis concludes that it was the best move. Conversely, you will see moves called best that turn out to be stinkers upon further analysis. Also, engines are dumb and have no concept of strategy (except maybe Alpha Zero and Leela) I wouldn't even use the feature to be completely honest with you, it's a waste of time. It is wrong there are people better than the analysis

That's just what some people think; not an established fact. My own opinion is that "brilliant move" is awarded randomly. Best move is often what it says but not usually, because the computer isn't set for deep analysis. An excellent move may be poor and a good move could be the losing move.
Computer will change analysis sometimes and don't think it is better than the world champion of people some people beat it

But it is 3700 so for most people it is good optimized is write if you are 6000 elo but if you are 900 elo use analysis
Best is best but brilliant is bester
absolutely : D
