You are concerned about Pawn promotions right?
Hmmmm....

I know as the level increases you will see that more and more games will be decided at Pawn promotions so this could be a problem.

Remember: Chess would not be what it is if there wasn't the Pawn promotions!
Most of the times if you outplay your opponent you will not win immediately by mate but just obtain a material advantage like a Pawn more or Knight for 2 Pawns etc....
So most times you will have to find a way to promote that Pawn or to use your Knight to help your Pawns to promote while your King stops the opposite Pawns or the opposite or just capture tha opponent's Pawns, but the extra Knight doesn't win alone if a Pawn doesn't promote! And most of the times it should promote to a Queen to win.....

So i guess you will need to change the rule one time or another but we will see....
