So it depends on which pawn he has. Interesting.
Deasil is the right way to go.

Just realised that a Knight promotion can also lose if played badly enough so any pawn can lose. But in reality most games are played with increment so you you would have snooze to lose.Dirt wrote:So it depends on which pawn he has. Interesting.

Now that would really suck. Maybe the FIDE rule should be revisited.chessmobile wrote:This particular case is a straight forward conclusion that Black wins. Where this FIDE rule is taken to extreme can make a mockery of the rules are rules philosophy. I recall a game where the only material on board was K+B versus K+P and the side with the Bishop won on time. The player with the K+P could not understand why as there was no possible way he could be mated. But hypothetically it was possible that he could promote pawn to a Bishop which would result in opposite colour Bishop and proceed to allow a mate in 1. Any other promotion would still be draw.
