Computer-Generated Chess Problem 03303
What we have here is a 'KQRB vs kqrn' mate in 3 chess problem generated by the program, Chesthetica, using the fairly new computational creativity approach called the 'DSNS'. Chesthetica is able to generate three-movers, four-moves, five-movers and study-like constructs and also compose problems using specific pieces types fed into it (e.g., composing something original using only a rook vs. five pawns). Read more about it on ChessBase. 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 8 pieces could have been taken from such a database.

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. The material value is about equal. Leave a comment below, if you like. Some of these problems may be trivial for you, especially if you're a club or master player but bear in mind that chess lovers can be found at all levels of play. So do check out some of the other problems. You can probably find something more to your taste.
