A few days after reading that blog, I did my first ever promotion to a knight. Getting the check stopped me from having to throw away my own rook to prevent my opponent's pawn from crowning. Almost certainly I've been in positions where knight-promotion was the best move before, but didn't have the idea in my mind. Seeing these little things is the way my game improves (slowly). Thanks GP.

I am black. My opponent white to play below.
As black, I felt like if I could sac my N into his g-pawn (which I ultimately did), then I had the draw. His bishop was the wrong color to prevent the draw at h8, and could never displace my K from that corner without a stalemate. My black king had position, he would end up with only the B and the drawish rook pawn, and his wrong color bishop would be of no help to him.
A few more moves and the position was clearly a draw (diagram below). I felt lucky to get the draw after blundering earlier in the game and especially against a stronger player.
