Published online for the first time, consider this KRBN vs knppp #4 chess problem generated by a computer program, Chesthetica, using the computational creativity approach which doesn't use any kind of traditional AI or even deep learning. Chesthetica has the creative ability to compose positions on an 8x8 canvas that may otherwise take centuries to arise in an actual game, if ever. You can learn more about the DSNS here. This position contains a total of 9 pieces. The largest endgame tablebase in existence today is for 7 pieces (containing over 500 trillion positions anyway) which means the problem could not have been taken from it regardless.

Chesthetica, especially if running on multiple computers or operating system user accounts, is capable of generating far too many compositions than can be published in a timely fashion here. The newer ones will therefore only be published some time later. This is why the composition date above does not match today's date. White is significantly ahead in material. Did you find this one interesting or have something else to say? Leave a comment below! Feel free to copy the position into a chess engine and discover even more variations of the solution.
