Computer-Generated Chess Problem 02456

Take a look at this 'KQRB vs krrn' chess problem generated by the prototype computer program, Chesthetica, using the 'DSNS' computational creativity approach which does not use any kind of machine or deep learning. There is also no proven limit to the quantity or type of legal compositions that can be automatically 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.

A seemingly earlier version of Chesthetica on a problem composed later (based on the date and time stamp) simply means that version may have been running on a different computer or operating system user account. White is significantly ahead in material. Try to solve this as quickly as you can. If you like it, please share with others. Solving chess puzzles like this can be good for your health as it keeps your brain active. It may even delay or prevent dementia.
