  You can try finding [the perfect Babson](https://en.chessbase.com/post/the-perfect-babson): compose a problem with four main lines. They consist of a defensive promotion of a black pawn to a queen, rook, bishop or knight, which forces White to promote to the same piece type in each case.
  
  Examples already exist, but they involve duals, which make them imperfect.
