Almost 100% of the time, pawns are promoted to queens. In this chess game I had to promote a pawn to a knight to avoid getting killed.

Indonesia sacrificed his bishop on his 3rd move to get an attack against my King. I didn't want to let him get away with this bullshit but I almost lost.

My opponent was going to checkmate me in one move. There was an interesting way to save the game but first, while my clock was ticking, I had to figure out how to change my preferences and then find out where I could turn off "Promote to Queen automatically". It took me more than 2 minutes. After figuring that out I promoted the pawn to a Knight, then I was able to checkmate my opponent in 4 moves. The time control was 10 minutes to finish the game so I could have lost if my clock ran out.

It's very unusual to have to promote a pawn to a Knight and I didn't think it would ever happen to me.

This is the game. I had the Black pieces.
