Yes, one of my worthless chess fantasies is to underpromote in a real game and have it be advantageous to me.
Oh, wait, an immediate Rg1 would have been checkmate, too. Oh well. It was still fun to underpromote.
Elubas
an immediate Rg1 would be stalemate.
No, it's discovered check from the bishop.
ErrantDeeds
Yes, an underpromotion! Savour this rare moment. I've yet to do it.

Oh yeah, I do remember seeing that one, cuendillar! A real jawdropper--like the following one that I composed (only yours happened in real life!):

But wouldn't Rg1# be a better move here?
Yeah, it is a little funny that his point that white's in check actually makes it checkmate, which is even better.

Nice one but I think a king move would've been faster.
Or again ...Rg1#
Oh I didn't see the bishop lol.

Well, in chess. I guess you can call that real life.
