Has anyone ever played a brilliant move??

I have played a lot of games and analyzed them but i think i could never played a brilliant move. Anyone did? Show me below.

Brilliant move, and I've done the occasional brilliant move, is generally a move that wouldn't stand out in a crowd, yet ultimately is the dagger that starts a chain of moves that leads to your opponent's downfall.

A move that quickly, after a couple more moves, becomes apparent that the move was a game changer: suddenly a stale drawish game, or perhaps you were on the ropes, sucking wind just to not get mated or crushed, turns your game into win as long as you don't blunder or make a critical mistake.

Certainly a brilliant move by someone 1200 would not compare to a brilliancy be a player rated 1600 or 2200 or Magnus Carlsen. That's what nice about brilliant moves: they can scale according to what would be expected of a player at a particular rating level.

If a 1200 finds a brilliant move, its probably something a 1700 would find in a few seconds or less under time pressure.. 😉

Uhmm, ok. Is that game on chesscom? If yes, please give me the link.

I've been playing chess for a long time. I don't really keep track of games that have brilliant moves, which could be on chess.com, another chess server, or an OTB game. Plus brilliant moves are uncommon to point where it would be impossible for me to remember how long ago the last brilliant move was.

An example of a brilliant move is the rook lift by Josh Waitzkin when he was youngster. Adults watching the game had no idea what his plan was.

One time I was looking for a game I knew I'd played in the last 3 month of whatever date it was. I had to painstakingly go through hundreds of games to find the game with the exact position I wanted to find.

I did end up finding it after countless hours over the course of 3 days of off and on looking. That was the last time I tried to find a position from a random older game of mine.

I think a "brilliant" move is one you did not see coming.  But if it's your own move, how can you not have seen it coming?  So it's hard to say if I have ever played a "brilliant" move. 

I don't know I was playing against someone and they had a "brilliant" move.... when in reality they were in check and had only two legal moves.  they lost.

No, but Computer Level 6 found a brilliant move in a game where I was ahead and won the game. It's 41... Qf2 :

How did the 'Computer Level 6' miss 48)... Qxh3#

Interesting. From experience, it's as though the computer isn't in a hurry to checkmate, but neither is it likely to blunder a winning position. And brilliant moves are not that common either. 

i have one brilliant move from all my history at chess, suprisingly i have acheived it quite recently!

Yes! I do recall computer analysis revealing a single "brilliant" move I made in the middle of a blitz game. I never did understand why it was brilliant, but I did go on to win

ikr??

yes! i just found this tactic! https://www.chess.com/live/game/5677172744

Yes, but not in a situation where I understood the brilliance of the move when I made it.  Good example is from this old thread:

https://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-analysis/is-this-sacrifice-sound-1

The first move recorded, 1. ..dxc3!! is the only move that doesn't lose for me, and if I had known for certain that white had to return the sacrificed bishop in order to stay in the game, I would have been brilliant.

I didn't know that, of course, but I was nonetheless proud to have played the move.  If you are ever going to find a brilliant move, at little experience with speculative sacrifices is definitely warranted.

First and only 😅 Brilliant move. When I looked at the self analysis, the computer does not see it. Best is -7pts. Posted below

Not bragging, most of you would have seen it. In a blitz with 10 s left, was hoping for a draw, then it got better 😬🤪

have played many  brilliant moves.
