Computer-Generated Chess Problem 02746
Take a look at this 'KQRBP vs krpp' mate in 4 chess construct composed autonomously by Chesthetica using the relatively new computational creativity approach called the 'DSNS'. Chesthetica is able to generate various types of mates and study-like constructs and also compose problems using specific combinations of pieces fed into it (such as using only a queen vs. rook and knight). Learn more about it on ChessBase. The position below contains 9 pieces which means it simply could not have been derived even from an existing endgame tablebase which is presently limited to 7 pieces.
