This can be done faster:

rnbqk1nr/pppp1ppp/8/8/1b6/1P1P4/PKP1PPPP/RNBn1BNR
SPG 6.0

(rnb1kbnr/pp1ppppp/8/q7/3P4/1P6/PKP1PPPP/RNBn1BNR SPG 6.0
works too, but I like the first more).


Same idea for Pe2-e1=N#

rn1qkbnr/ppp1pppp/8/8/6b1/4P1P1/PPPP1PKP/RNB1nBNR
SPG 6.0

Has somebody encountered the opposite situation:

Underpromotion is MUST, while queening leads to
a non-unique PG?
