The games were cited in the book "Pawn Promotion to Bishop or Rook in the Endgame Study" by Harold van der Heijden. I only had to lookup the scores in the ChessBase MegaBase :-) Van der Heijden gives a list of 27 games (1863 - 1995) with bishop or rook promotion. There may exist some more, but nevertheless the total number of such games is *very* samll, compared to the number of OTB games. If anyone is interested in this games, I can try to find them in my databases. Manfred
