user34078: I don’t understand why chess.com says this is a “Brilliant Move”? Can someone explain please?


user34079: Whites bishop on g5 is hanging, after Bxg5 Nxg5 Qxg5 black is up a piece. However this would remove the defense of the c7 pawn allowing for Nxc7 by white forking the king and the rook on a1 leading to the winning of the exchange. Chess.com grants brilliancies when a move loses material but either maintains or creates an advantage.
