Computer-Generated Chess Problem 04086
What we have here is a 'KQRB vs krbn' five-move chess puzzle or problem (whichever you wish to call it) composed by a computer using the DSNS computational creativity method. It does not use endgame tablebases, artificial neural networks, machine learning or any kind of typical AI. Chesthetica is able to generate mates in two, mates in three, mates in four, mates in five, study-like constructs and also compose problems using specific combinations of pieces fed into it (e.g., compose something original using a knight versus three pawns). Read more about it on ChessBase. The position below contains eight pieces.
