Knight promotion because it's the best piece in the situation happens often. Rook promotion because Queen promotion would be stalemate happens occasionally. Bishop promotion is a theoretical curiosity only.
- yunwal 1y agoThis post ends with a situation in a real tournament game where a bishop promotion is the only winning move https://timkr.home.xs4all.nl/chess2/minor.htm https://timkr.home.xs4all.nl/chess2/minor.htm
- lmm 1y agoWell, maybe. There's no full record of the game, it's not even clear which year it supposedly took place in. It could have been a real tournament game, but I don't think there's enough evidence to reasonably conclude that it was.
