to underpromote that fast is insane to me

[dwiii]

Hits him with the "better luck next time"

[marcinjaskier]

I like to underpromote when I expect my opponnets to take the promoted piece. Tends to confuse them, ... Brilliant mate👍

Knights in the endgame are the trickiest because it's _so_ easy to miss a fork. They just come out of nowhere.

[niekgietema]

if im low on time im promoting pawns for a ladder checkmate i often promote to a rook rather than a queen to prevent accidental stalemates

[animezoneamv]

Hikaru is the best person to use underpromotion.

[abcdefgh]

I never underpromote because I like queens.

[animefreak]

Rare compliment from Hikaru. I now also respect his opponent

Why is this even a video? A SGM up 2 pawns and time advantage is like 99%.
