Great observation if indeed this is the case.

From a realistic point of view, the "underpromotion" is not likely to be used in
an actual game even if it is in the opening book. Well, not for now. But maybe
in 20 years an opening book will make the first 60 moves ;-)

Btw, what is the earliest move number in which the underpromotion took place?
