Computer-Generated Chess Problem 02485
What we have here is a 'KRRBP vs knppp' chess puzzle created by 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. You can learn about how these constructs are selected here. This position contains a total of 10 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.
