I have been trying for months to get the elusive "Killer Pawn" award to no avail. Would promoting a pawn to a queen with a checkmate be considered a pawn mate, or a queen mate?

Interesting question! I am inclined to believe promotion is a pawn move but I am not sure how problemists rate it! Even though I am one wink
