[@NowhereMan7]

​@@manjilmanjil3003 There are blunders, mistakes,inaccuracies, good moves, excellent moves, best moves, and brilliant moves, if im not mistaken... What you are saying is that someone who played all best moves all the time with a perfect 100% accuracy on every game they ever played is "proven" to be "bad at chess. You're an idiot.

[@stupidnamefilter]

Stockfish will give brilliant moves for being able to see a rook sacrifice. Since White refused to ever take it, every move while it was in danger that didn't save it was considered "brilliant" because they are all rook sacrifices. Notice when the queens were traded and it wasnt a brilliant move, that was because the threat level on the queen was higher than the rook sacrifice so it wasn't a sacrifice at that moment (but would soon be again).

[@RPHelpingHand]

You had to see D4 coming a couple moves beforehand, obviously the reason he moved the bishop and was going for a discovered attack by moving the pawn. It also defended two pawns in the meantime, not that they were under attack at that moment..

[@whywhywhydelilah9541]

I think the initial move to B3 and the idea was brilliant, it seems like most of the subsequent brilliant moves were just because they didn't move the rook, because the obvious move is to get the rook out of the way of the bishop. Can't see how a 1000 rated player saw all this though without using an engine.

[@Marveryn]

yeah for all we know it was a mouse slip he meaning to capture the rook but click on two square short accidently. (i don't think that the case or he would had move that rook some point much earlier but hey its possible it was an oops .. wait? that is good)

[@nicola4251]

yeah they are obviously having assistance. They played like chess grandmasters and their elo combined is barely half the elo of a grandmaster. Also look at the time management, they didn't spend any time at all.

[@nicowild5347]

Weren't there gm symbols by their names?

[@crissygorge6989]

@@nicowild5347he puts those there for jokes. They’re not actually grandmasters.

[@jaybingham3711]

Yep. I think rook to b3 may be the inverse equivalent of the unrectified blunder that dings all your subsequent moves as being blunders until such time the initial offending blunder is finally addressed. Such situations are in need of being managed differently by the software. I'm not clear what solution might resolve this. And it will require some subtle parsing to make it fair. But this doesn't pass the smell test for most of the "brilliant" moves in this game.

[@user-cw9zx7lr6r]

it just the engine broke for how many resacrafices black did

[@sophiegrey9576]

I think the difference is if the bishop was still on c6 when d4 happened the knight could recapture and both defend f3 and attack the bishop

I think this was a staged game for views too, it looks quite fake I mean they played perfect theory and the 700 elo player made just 1 inaccuracy that allowed this whole brilliant sequence to unfold. I guess this is good for content but this game doesn't feel real or genuine at all.
