Computer-Generated Chess Problem 03084
Now, here we have a 'KQRNNP vs krn' mate in 2 chess puzzle created 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 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.

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. Chesthetica composes everything autonomously (no human intervention) and even chooses the main line of the solution to show you. Why not time yourself how long it took you to solve this? Solving chess puzzles like this can also help improve your game.
