Computer-Generated Chess Problem 02606
Now, here we have a 'KRBBP vs krpp' mate in 3 chess problem generated autonomously by a computer 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 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 9 pieces goes even beyond that and was therefore composed without any such help.

If you notice any version of Chesthetica 'skipped' from one problem to the next, that simply means additional (minor) changes were made to the program before it was set to run again. White is significantly ahead in material. Why not time yourself how long it took you to solve this? Collectively, these puzzles are intended to cater to players of all levels.
