Computer-Generated Chess Problem 02431
Here is a new 'KQBBN vs kqnppp' mate in 5 chess problem generated autonomously by the program, Chesthetica, using the approach known as the DSNS from the sub-field of AI, computational creativity. Depending on the type and complexity of the problem desired, a single instance of Chesthetica running on a desktop computer can probably generate anywhere between one and ten problems per hour. 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.

Chess puzzles are ancient. Some are over a thousand years old but only in the 21st century have computers been able to compose original ones on their own like humans can. Now, let's see what else there is to say. Give me a moment. Try to solve this as quickly as you can. If you like it, please share with your friends. Note that not all the chess problems are like this. They cover quite the spectrum of solving ability and there are thousands published already. Anyway, if standard chess isn't your thing, you might instead like SSCC.
