Check out this ending where my opponent promoted to a Bishop. Critique the rest of the game if you want.

If anyone else has some real-game examples of underpromotion, it would be cool of you to share them.

I'm black in this game. I think I played perfectly after my '18th' move which was a blunder.
Also, one or two of my game comments are off one ply. I'm not used to this feature on chess.com yet.
I read somewhere that the best promotions are ~98% to Queen; ~1.6% to Knight; roughly 0.4% to Rook; and once in a 1,000,000 opportunities when the B+N+K vs. K potential makes promotion to a Bishop necessary.
Dang, now I'm imagining all the research that went into that finding...
