This is an original 'KQRNP vs krbp' three-move chess puzzle or problem (whichever you wish to call it) composed by the program, Chesthetica, using the Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate AI computational creativity method. There is no known limit to the quantity or type of compositions that can be generated. 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 9 pieces goes even beyond that and was therefore composed without any such help.

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 over a rook's worth in material but the precise win in this position still needs to be found. Do you think you could have composed something better with these pieces? Share in the comments and let us know how long it took you. Take some time to study the analysis and you might appreciate the puzzle a little more.
