Computer-Generated Chess Problem 01995
Consider this 'KQRBN vs knnppp' #5 chess construct composed autonomously by a computer using the approach known as the DSNS from the sub-field of AI, computational creativity. The program can compose problems that may otherwise take decades, centuries or even longer for human composers to think of, or to arise in a real game. 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 11 pieces could have been taken from such a database.

Some of the earliest chess problems by humans are over 10 centuries old but original ones by computer are very recent. White has a decisive material advantage in this position but the winning sequence may not be immediately clear. Do share and try out some of the others too. Feel free to copy the position into a chess engine and discover even more variations of the solution.
