The move was 40. e8=Q
The analysis told me a better move was 40. e8=R
A rook?! wtf?!
a queen is a rook + bishop...
quote:
The only way I can think it would be better to promote to Rook instead of Queen would be if the promotion forced a draw, and the lack of diagonal motion would allow your opponent a forced move.
That was not the case here.
The position:
White: e7, f5, g4, h2, Kc1
Black: a5, c6, g7, h6, Kf6

e8=Q?
that's almost as bad as throwing the venus on a spider 3 Y banana
