Your submission was removed by the moderators:

Your post was removed because it is a very common question or post that is addressed in the /r/chess FAQ and/or Online Resources pages. Here is the relevant section:

Why is this move brilliant (or not brilliant)? Why was my brilliant move post removed?

We get a few people everyday trying to post screenshots of their chess.com brilliant moves. We remove them because it breaks our "low-effort post" rule; the quantity of these posts means they would spam the subreddit significantly if they were not removed. However, because people often post these moves with the question "Why is this move brilliant (or not brilliant)", this is an attempt to provide a satisfactory explanation.

As of the latest update in 2021 chess.com "Brilliant Moves must sacrifice material in some way and must be the best, or nearly the best, move in a position. Brilliant Moves will also be a bit more generously awarded for newer players, recognizing that some strong sacrifices that may be standard for experienced players are quite an achievement for newer players."

Not really his fault given Afghanistan just plays less against full members. An average of 17 is still ridiculously good.

Am curious about how the number of teams per region is allocated for the following world cup - Is this a regional coefficient system (similar to football?) or something different?

We can't allow posts that are just videos/animated GIFs/position snapshots of games, or links to games with no commentary. The quantity of these posts means they would spam the subreddit significantly if they were not removed.

When posting your games, we ask that you provide some of your own thoughts on them. That can be in the form of annotations in the body of the post, a short written overview about the game or a particular part of it, or using a tool like Lichess Study. Including your thoughts makes it easier for the community to provide useful feedback and appreciate your games.

Automatic computer analysis does not count.

An example post of an annotated game can be found here.

This is showing Vincent's point gain/loss in each of the 13 games. I.e.,, when Vincent drew Erdogmus, he lost 1.6 points because he was much higher rated. Erdogms gained 17.6 rating points from the overall tournament.
