Hello everyone! Today I was wondering how to choose what to promote to in antichess, what the rarest and most common promotions are, and when to over (or under, I don't know what to say) promote.
You should promote to a bishop if there is an opponent bishop of the opposite color that cannot be captured and you are unsure if you can win when promoting to any other piece. This gives you an easy draw.
You should rarely ever promote to a knight. They are the absolute worst because they lose in most endgames vs any other piece.
You should be promote to a king to when there is nothing nearby to capture or all other options lead to a loss.
You should promote to a queen when it can be easily captured (example, in the early game) with no major consequences.
Lastly, you should promote to a rook when there aren't any chain captures available. Rooks are a major factor of deciding who wins in the endgame.

And don't forget that in antichess you can promote to a king. That is sometimes quite useful.
Depends on the position i guess?
