Computer-Generated Chess Problem 02637
This is an original 'KQNN vs kqrrp' three-move chess puzzle created by Chesthetica using the approach known as the DSNS from the sub-field of AI, computational creativity. 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 9 pieces could have been taken from such a database.

Chesthetica, especially if running on multiple computers or operating system user accounts, is capable of generating far too many compositions than can be published in a timely fashion here. The newer ones will therefore only be published some time later. This is why the composition date above does not match today's date. White actually has less material than Black yet still wins. The white army is down by about 5 (Shannon) pawn units in value. 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.
