Computer-Generated Chess Problem 02257

Contemplate this 'KQQRBP vs kqbb' #5 chess construct generated by a computer program, Chesthetica, using the computational creativity approach which doesn't use any kind of traditional AI or even deep learning. Chesthetica has the creative ability to compose positions on an 8x8 canvas that may otherwise take centuries to arise in an actual game, if ever. (Learn more about the DSNS here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1507.07058). The largest endgame tablebase in existence today is for 7 pieces (Lomonosov) which contains over 500 trillion positions, most of which have not been seen by human eyes. This problem with 10 pieces goes even beyond that and was therefore composed without any such help.

The chess problems are published chronologically based on the composition date and time. However, later compositions may have an earlier version of Chesthetica listed because more than one computer (not all running the same version of the program) is used. White has a decisive material advantage in this position but the winning sequence may not be immediately clear. Try to solve this as quickly as you can. If you like it, please share with your friends. Some of these problems may be trivial for you, especially if you're a club or master player but bear in mind that chess lovers can be found at all levels of play. So do check out some of the other problems. You can probably find something more to your taste.
