Pretty!
I like this, an underpromotion to a Bishop, without check!

Yes, good one...
Must admit I had to try pretty much every other promotion first : )

I found the correct promotion right away. It was obvious when I saw that d6 was the main escape square I had to cover, but without stalemating the king (which a queen promotion would obviously do).

1.Re6 Kd8 then promote to a queen works just as well without messing around with a flimsy bishop promotion

You didn't try the solution did you? Black King just moves back to D7
