I'm fully aware that promoting a pawn to a rook or bishop is completely pointless because a Queen is literally both of them, but since you can promote to a knight and because a knight isn't neither a bishop nor a rook, has anyone ever promoted to a knight?
Has anyone promoted a Pawn to a Knight and have it work?

It has never actually happened to me either in years of playing, but one of the most noteworthy puzzles is a "smothered" mate in one where you promote to knight and immediate checkmate....I'll see if I can find it and get back.

I did it once with one of the high school kids whose club/team I coached when the guy, Matt, was grinning from ear-to-ear and I realized he had intentionally dropped his queen and maneuvered his King so there would be a stalemate when my new queen began existence. When I pushed the pawn to the queening square and said, "Give me a Knight," his lower jaw almost hit the floor.
I only had barely enough edge to eventually win, but I did.
I told him it was a good example of why we need to keep our emotions controlled - I'd have missed it without the Cheshire Cat-like grin!
