I do not understand that kind of dilema or clasification. Consistency and
brilliance cannot be compared in a basis of "this Or this". It cannot be, for
instance, that a guy that makes a brilliant move has not been a consistent
player in doing good moves before the brilliant one. You cannot play a brilliant
move in a messy position derived of consistently bad moves. To make consistently
good moves is a precondition to do, from time to time, a really brilliant one.
But there is more: it cannot be, also, that a player -human or not- makes "only"
good moves, but never a brilliant one. It cannot, because sometimes the good
move to do is what you would call "brilliant". If he does not play it, then he
is not "consistently" playing good moves.
