Computer-Generated Chess Problem 02311

This is an original 'KRRBP vs kbp' mate in 5 chess problem generated by a computer using the 'Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate' computational creativity approach which does not use any kind of deep learning. After years of development, Chesthetica is able to use the technology to express original creative thought in this domain. Note that it also never had millions of IBM or Google dollars behind it. There is no known limit to the quantity or type of compositions that can be generated. The largest (Lomonosov) tablebase today is for 7 pieces which contains over 500 trillion positions. With each additional piece, the number of possible positions increases exponentially. It is therefore impossible that this problem with 8 pieces could have been taken from such a database.

Chesthetica, especially if running on multiple computers or operating system user accounts, is capable of generating far too many compositions than can be published in a timely fashion here. The newer ones will therefore only be published some time later. This is why the composition date above does not match today's date. White has a decisive material advantage in this position but the winning sequence may not be immediately clear. Why not time yourself how long it took you to solve this? Solving chess puzzles like this is probably good for your health as it keeps your brain active. Nobody wants something like early-onset Alzheimer's.
