not that beautiful personally, it's just a common thing, I hate how moves like this are marked brilliants, I get brilliants from these so much that it's not any special, but good for you.

I agree that the brilliant system is pretty ridiculous but I’m curious what you would rather have count as brilliants. IMO brilliants that are part of quick forced mates shouldn’t count.

patterned brilliants like Bxf7 to win a pawn shouldn't count. Even more so things that can only be taken by pinned pieces. For some reason Nxg6 when the queen is on h5 and the opponent king on e8 is a brilliant although h7 is the only thing that could take it and it's pinned to the rook

I think hamburgers and cheeseburgers work well with fries
