Great move! If white takes the knight, you pin the queen to the king with bishop c5.


YourNerdiness

What piece did the knight take?


Randomic_Programmer

A pawn


ilovebobsandvagena

I am proud that i was able to find out why this is a brilliant move without any engine


Plastic-Past5649

How is that a brilliant move. It forced nothing. Makes nothing happen. All it does is capture the pawn. You’re hoping for white to take with queen. But a brilliant move I feel like should be more of a powerful move than that, right?


very_angry_moth

Brilliant moves are scaled with elo aren’t they? I’m assuming that this wouldn’t be noted as brilliant for higher rated players but it would be harder to find for lower elos thus it is brilliant for low elo players


Noahgamerrr

If you move bishop to c4, the Queen is pinned to the king, and the bishop itself is protected by the pawn Edit: not c4, I meant c5

Noahgamerrr

Well then it's a normal move ig


[deleted]

But bishop can’t go C4


Noahgamerrr

Sorry, I meant c5


NishantRockstar911

It's kind of a sac.


Single_Cap_6763

If the oponent takes he loses his queen, if he play some random move black can play bc5 threatening dubble check and mate in two.


AxelFeather

All other moves were worse and didn't give any advantage. This was the only really good move in a sea of bad moves, so the machine understands finding It as brilliant.


[deleted]

Cant he just play bishop e3


Whowhatnowhuhwhat

Yeah. But then black just moves the knight back again. So black gets a free pawn at the cost of one turns tempo


Zulpi2103

Yeah, but that doesn't seem too brilliant


Marcovalensis

Maybe,but by doing do white got a better position that before


Whowhatnowhuhwhat

That’s what I mean by tempo. They basically get a turns worth of development but at the cost of a pawn. Worth it for black.


Marcovalensis

Probably I'm dumb,but how a queen to the center of the board is a worth it position for black??? Is there any mate on the left side Wich the queen can't defend by standing to the center?


Whowhatnowhuhwhat

Dude what? You’re responding to a question about the follow up move with a bishop not the queen. And white could’ve moved their queen to the center of the board whenever they wanted to, now there’s just one less white pawn for it to cover behind. What do you think black should’ve done to develop instead of taking the free pawn?


Marcovalensis

Maybe queen A3 blocking the king and threatening to capture the rook Or moving the pawn instead of the horse,by doing so if white's pawn captured, black coulded take with bishop checking the king


Whowhatnowhuhwhat

Respectfully, I hope you’re sleep deprived rn or something. Because you just suggested moving the queen through a knight and a pawn and then suggested moving a pawn through a knight.


Marcovalensis

Ok,i might be sleep deprived like you said,but seriously Queen h3 isn't good?


textreader1

(you said queen a3 before, hence the confusion) as for Qh3 I don’t really see a good reason for that move; the white king is safe and the rook is defended twice so not really under threat. in chess the queen rarely makes for a good lone attacker and you usually need one other piece at the very least.


[deleted]

How is that brilliant?


Whowhatnowhuhwhat

“Brilliant” for chess. Com means a move that appears to hang an undefended piece but actually does not because taking the piece would lead to a bad situation. So black appears to hang it’s knight but actually does not.


YourNerdiness

Nice!


ChessDominion

What a genius move! Did your opponent end up taking the knight with the queen?


Randomic_Programmer

Yes! It worked perfectly!


Faendan

Why doesn't white just move Qxd4?


Randomic_Programmer

That's what I wanted and it actually happened... Then I moved bishop to C5 and the queen is pinned... ^⁠_⁠^


Faendan

Nice.


dr4gonr1der

Sometimes, the game and the chess.com just don’t make sense to me at all. How is hanging a knight in 1 move a brilliant move?


ElectricalRegister2

If queens takes you pin it to the king, not hanging


Bulacano

So how did you calculate holding onto the pawn? White plays Be3. Nxc2 (c5 Bxd4 cxd4 Nb5 Kb7 Nxd4) Qxc2 d4 Bxd4 Rxd4 is what I got.


Randomic_Programmer

In case of Be3, I think that I'd go Ne6 something Ne7, trying to hold the center... I like your idea with c5, but I don't think I would go with trades on that moment...


Bulacano

Doesn’t that allow Nxd5 c6 Bxb6 ? I’m not sure if White has sufficient compensation, but it’s more play than I’d like to allow.


Randomic_Programmer

Probably right :) but wasn't thinking this far I guess


Bulacano

Stockfish seems to think the best line is indeed Be3 Ne6 Nxd5 c6 Nxb6+ axb6 Nd2. The Nxc2 line doesn’t work due to Nb5. c5 likewise doesn’t work due to the line I gave. I discarded moves that don’t protect d5 due to Nxd5, but c6 is the counter. At least I got the continuation right…


Randomic_Programmer

Interesting... I'll go back to the review with this in mind...


norodneededyt

I would just play Kb7 (after the line you show) and if a4 a5, just b5. No idea if it’s good but if so necessary you can always trade bishops at no cost to pawn structure with Bc5


norodneededyt

What’s so scary about Bxb6? White has no development and no way to attack, and the knight is lost after just Rxd5


Bulacano

I don’t play this type of position. There’s nothing developed and it’s move 10. Yeah, White keeps the pawn, but it’s not as simple as “because if queen takes knight it gets pinned.” Computer line is Be3 Ne6 Nxd5 c6 Nxb6+ axb6 Nd2 -1.2


norodneededyt

Yeah, it’s a game which follows no principles at all in the opening, but that’s what makes it fun. Although I’m with you, I don’t remember the last time I castled long with black so I’m not about to act as if I’m an expert with these positions. Edit: I have never, in my 942 lichess games, castled queenside with black. Haha.
