When would it ever be beneficial to promote a pan to a bishop or rook?

Thanks and good to know. i wonder how often under promoting actually happens to a persons advantage.

I would promote it to a wok or even a microwave oven.
Under-promoting usually avoids stalemate traps which otherwise a queen would have fallen to.

I can imagine a scenario where promoting a pawn to a knight would result in checkmate in a way a promoted queen could not. I can’t imagine any scenario why getting a bishop or rook would be more beneficial then just a queen.
If i’m correct (which i very well might not be) then who decided to add the ability to promote to bishops and rooks?
