White to Play and Win with Underpromotion
.
F8=Queen or Rook will be a stalemate draw.

White to play and win with underpromotion

Bc5 Ka4 C7 Rb8
Now, White can’t capture the rook and promote it into a queen or rook, as it will be a stalemate. White also can’t take a bishop, as both the bishops will be of same colour.
So, Bc5 Ka4 C7 Rb8 Cb8=N will win the game for white
