Originally posted by orfeoI really liked your second one. That was quite brilliant! It was the only move you had to keep you from losing horribly, and it was winning. And your followup Bf7+ was beautiful.
PHEW!
Okay, that took a while to search through a LOT of games, and whittle it down to three. I got it down to four games, and one missed out because it had several great moves and I couldn't pick one! Probably one of the best games I ever played, ironically.
Anyway the three I picked, first is best I think:
Game 762435 move 20 - sets up *sever ...[text shortened]... his queen has just captured what *looked* like an easy pawn... and is dead two moves later.
Game 965177
Move #19. White. And move #20 for white as a follow up move.
I think this is a brilliant sacrifice!

I remember now, I knew I had to do something, ANYTHING, to make his queen leave the vicinity. 😉
Move #...19 as Black
Game 984755
I have some games against some very low rated players.
I dont think posting those are the best idea. The brilliant moves seem to come because of opponent blunders.
Only one game where I could find a "brilliant" move ...😳
At move 22, I saw I could get his queen and bishop by sacrificing both knights. I wish I had that kind of insight more often ...
Game 794773
Easily this game for me!
Game 1266292
Bxc5+!! followed by Rxe6+!! followed by Qd5+ wins on the spot.
brilliance? not too much of that... I like this game, I'll try to find more "bbrilliance"later...
Game 700189
there you go...
Originally posted by abejnoodSince he didn't specify a move, I'll say consider move 24.
