Ok .. I do think there's a mistake in the problem. The only legal move for Uppercase is 1.e8(R,B,N) .. Whatever piece it promotes to, it can be captured by the Queen or the Rook, resulting in stalemate = draw.

I would suggest promotion to a Bishop. Threatening stalemate. But I can't see how white can avoid loss even afterwards.
