Is there any good and or famous game where pawn under promotes to checkmate? I need a complete game, not just a position.

I posted one in game showcase some time ago called '16 move checkmate with under-promotion!' If you can find it in the forums or in my profile the full game is there with some brief analysis.

A game between 2 German players in the 70's btw not one of my crappy bullet efforts.

Thanks, will search. Let know if you find it.

There was a game Robbins-Showalter that ended that way. Can't find it right now, but someone with better search skills probably could.

VishyNotAnand
Thanks, will search for that too!

Yes, but not to a knight. Let's see one to a bishop or a castle.

Here's Saavedra's....White to Move and Win

U used2 be able to leave it a pawn - if u so desired....until 1862 when some stupid idiot changed the rules. W. Steinitz was the one who vehemently objected2 the 'forced' promotion.
