Looking for a post of games where someone underpromoted. I just did in Game 1148359 because it didn't really matter and I was feeling special. Or "special".

More interesting would be underpromotion to a knight for mate.

aaand... why? Couldn't you have won if you got a queen?

d8=Q Nc6+ wins the queen for the knight.
However I think there are better moves than an immediate d8=N. Perhaps Ne8+ is worth a look.

48.a4 is a move worth looking.

I'm afraid of Ne8 as it leads to
48.Ne8+ Kh6 49.a4 Nxd7!

I think that's a won endgame.
