Computer-Generated Chess Problem 01894
A new if not unique KRBBN vs kbn three-move chess problem generated by the program, Chesthetica, using the Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate AI computational creativity method. There is no known limit to the quantity or type of compositions that can be generated. This position contains a total of 8 pieces. The largest endgame tablebase in existence today is for 7 pieces (containing over 500 trillion positions anyway) which means the problem could not have been taken from it regardless.

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 is over a rook's worth in material but the precise win in this position still needs to be found. 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. Take some time to study the analysis and you might appreciate the puzzle a little more. By the way, if you're tired of international chess, maybe try Switch-Side Chain-Chess instead.
