    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.

    an immediate Rg1 would be stalemate.

    No, it's discovered check from the bishop.

    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.

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