I'm assuming that all the rules regarding stalemate, en passant, etc still apply, and that pawns can be promoted to any piece except a Knight. In other words, they can be promoted to a King if you so desire. I have a challenge. Can anyone contruct a chess problem where one side promotes a pawn, such that, promotion to a King wins the game, but promotion to any other piece, (Queen, Bishop or Rook) either loses or draws. It's relatively easy to imagine a conventional game of chess, where promting to a Knight is desirable, because of the Knight's unique movements. But it's not so easy to envision a scenario where you would want to promote to a King in a Knightmate game.
