Take a look at this 'KQBN vs kn' three-move chess construct composed autonomously by the prototype 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. 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 chess problems are published chronologically based on the composition date and time. However, later compositions may have an earlier version of Chesthetica listed because more than one computer (not all running the same version of the program) is used. White has a decisive material advantage in this position but the winning sequence may not be immediately clear. If this one is too easy or too difficult for you, try out some of the others. Note that not all the chess problems are like this. They cover quite the spectrum of solving ability and there are over a thousand published already.
