Notice that in the position preceding stalemate, all possible moves by white (Kg3, Kh1, Kh2 and Kh3) were leading to checkmate with 4 different promotions, and in all 3 relevant cases, these checkmates with underpromotion would have been the best variation ; plus, all underpromotions could be used : Kh1 f1=R# (mate in one, it also works if you promote to queen) Kh3 f1=B+ Kg3 Qg2# Kh2 f1=Q+ Kg3 Qg2# Kg3 f1=N+ Kh3 Qh2#
