I don't think that many of the "promotion to bishop"-games -
including your dxc=B - will survive the next few days ...

Although I wasn't yet able to improve the above one,
the following games show, that there's still much room
for improvements:

Pg7-g8=B rnb1qbB1/pppppk2/7r/5pQ1/8/8/PPPP1PPP/RNB1KBNR
 1. Pe2-e4   Ph7-h5     2. Qd1xh5   Rh8-h6     3. Qh5-g5   Pf7-f5    
 4. Pe4-e5   Ng8-f6     5. Pe5xf6   Ke8-f7     6. Pf6xg7   Qd8-e8    
 7. Pg7-g8=B 

Pf7xe8=B rnb1BQ1r/pppp2pp/6k1/5p2/8/8/PPP1PPPP/RNB1KBNR
 1. Pd2-d4   Pe7-e5     2. Pd4xe5   Pf7-f5     3. Qd1-d6   Ng8-f6    
 4. Pe5xf6   Ke8-f7     5. Qd6xf8   Kf7-g6     6. Pf6-f7   Qd8-e8
