Computer-Generated Chess Problem 02433

Here is a new 'KBNNPPPP vs krp' #4 chess problem generated by a computer program, Chesthetica, using the DSNS computational creativity approach which doesn't use any kind of traditional AI. Chesthetica has the creative ability to compose positions that may otherwise take centuries to arise in an actual game, if ever. There is no known limit to the quantity or type of compositions that can be generated. Noteworthy here is that a chess position with over 7 pieces could not have been derived or taken from an endgame tablebase because 7 pieces is the present limit.

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. Okay, let me think for a minute if there's anything else to say here. Do you think you could have composed something better with these pieces? Share in the comments and let us know how long it took you. As a whole, these problems are intended to cater to players of all skill levels.
