Use "move list" for alternative moves, and tablebase ( http://www.gmchess.com/endgames/ ) if you wanna go deeper Wink

So why the underpromotion to bishop when you can achieve the same thing with a queen? Is this having the assumption you are going to win so may as well practice getting a mate with a bishop instead?

I think you need to look at the position a little closer, luckygunn...
