Computer-Generated Chess Problem 04059
A new if not unique KQRRNPP vs kqrrbp forced mate in five chess problem generated autonomously by a computer program, Chesthetica, using the 'digital synaptic neural substrate' (DSNS) computational creativity approach. It doesn't use endgame tablebases, deep learning or any kind of traditional artificial intelligence (AI). 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 complete endgame tablebase in existence today is for seven pieces (Lomonosov) which contains over 500 trillion positions, most of which have not and never will be seen by human eyes. This problem with 13 pieces goes even beyond that.
