parent is referring to stalemate. Underpromotion to a bishop to achieve stalemate was my guess for rarest, since you can always stalemate with a queen just as well as a bishop, so theres no reason to underpromote if you goal is a draw on the turn in which the promotion occurs.


Stalemate doesn’t have notation either, so the OP doesn’t consider it different than any old bishop underpromotion
