Forced, to prevent checkmate by white.

Yeah at first sight I didnt see why Black under promoted, but, as Nytik rightly says, it was the only way to delay check mate. This really is an amazing game!

Thing is, I've seen this game before, but I'm sure a different story was attached. More than likely it is just a composed problem.
