This is an original 'KQNPPP vs krbp' chess puzzle created by the prototype computer program, Chesthetica, using the DSNS computational creativity approach which doesn't use any kind of traditional AI. Chesthetica has the creative ability to compose positions that may otherwise take centuries to arise in an actual game, if ever. Chesthetica is able to generate mates in 3, mates in 4, mates in 5, study-like constructs and also compose problems using specific combinations of pieces fed into it. Read more about it on ChessBase. The largest endgame tablebase in existence today is for 7 pieces (Lomonosov) which contains over 500 trillion positions, most of which have not been seen by human eyes. This problem with 10 pieces goes even beyond that and was therefore composed without any such help.

These chess puzzles are published in order based on the composition date and time stamp above. Due to the sheer volume of compositions generated, the latest ones may therefore only be published later on. White is over a rook's worth in material but the precise win in this position still needs to be found. The default solving time of 30 seconds may be too short for you if the problem is difficult so feel free to hit the pause button and solve at your own pace. Do share and try out some of the others too. Solving chess puzzles like this can also help improve your game. If you're bored of standard chess, though, why not try this?
