I I haven't played chess beyond the never read the rules, never played with anyone serious, elementary school level. I don't know when anything other than the most basic movement is allowed. What is brilly?

The main place that people play chess these days is on chess.com, and if you review your game afterwards, it will tell you which of your moves were good, bad, or in this case: brilliant ("brilly").

Doesn't black just need to move Q to F1 to win the game?

Not anymore, he's in check now. As soon as he's free, yes.

A friend made me just realize that it's always checkmate in 2. I need to study more chess.
