I wouldn't. I never progressed beyond chess clubs in public schools and I certainly remember people making illegal moves in tournaments. Like that's why they make you both record all the moves. Because people make mistakes. Though, honestly, I remember more notation errors than play errors.

Accidentally moving into check is probably the most common illegal move. Castling though check is surprisingly common, too. Actually moving a piece incorrectly is fairly rare, though. I remember one tournament where one of the matches ended in a DQ because one of the players had two white bishops.

Could one have two white bishops after promoting a pawn?

		Yes it's theoretically possible to have two light-squared bishops due to promotions but so exceedingly rare that I think most professional chess players will go their whole career without ever seeing that happen.

		Outside of playing a game for piece value? No, not really. In this case, of course, someone moved their bishop from black to white and their opponent didn't catch it until awhile later.

		Promoting to anything other than a queen is rare, and I expect the next most common is to a knight. Promoting to a bishop, while possible, is going to be extremely rare.
