Computer-Generated Chess Problem 02464

A 'KNNPPPP vs kbnnnpp' five-move chess puzzle or problem (whichever you wish to call it) composed by the prototype computer program, Chesthetica, using the Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate (DSNS) computational creativity approach. It doesn't use endgame tablebases, deep learning or any kind of traditional AI. 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.
