Exclam! Generally a good move, perhaps even unexpectedly so. Double exclam, !!, being a brilliant move, especially one with flair like a sacrifice. Triple exclam is reserved for the games of Emory Tate. ;)

It's similar to English actually. It's commentary, rather than semantics.
! is good move.
? is dubious move.
If you want to carried away double/triple those.
