    There are also conceivable situations where you would want to promote to a knight, since all the spaces the knight sees are spaces the queen can’t.

      100% true. In fact, there are even more situations where promoting to a knight is useful, since it can help you keep tempo if you’re simultaneously gaining material and keeping the opponent in check.
