Some players, when they can mate with an underpromotion to rook or bishop rather than a queen, seem to believe the underpromotion adds a degree of elegance--and rubs it in.

 Ok, sometimes, but that don't help me much! Is there a rule, a tip maybee when should I queen a pawn, knight a pawn, rook it and sometimes bishop it?

I still feel that I'm missing something, please help Embarassed
