This is an original 'KQBNP vs knp' chess construct composed autonomously by a computer program, Chesthetica, using the approach known as the DSNS from the sub-field of AI, computational creativity. The program can compose problems that may otherwise take decades, centuries or even longer for human composers to think of, or to arise in a real game. Learn about how these puzzles are selected here. The largest endgame tablebase in existence today is for 7 pieces (Lomonosov) which contains over 500 trillion positions, most of which have not and never will be seen by human eyes. This problem with 8 pieces goes even beyond that and was therefore composed without any such help whatsoever.

Humans have been composing original chess problems for over a thousand years. Now a computer can do it too. Get a glimpse into the 'mind' of a computer composer. Do share and try out some of the others too. Note that not all the chess problems are like this. They cover quite the spectrum of solving ability and there are thousands published already.
