What we have here is a 'KRRNNPP vs kq' mate in 4 chess construct composed autonomously by the program, Chesthetica, using the 'DSNS' computational creativity approach which does not use any kind of machine or deep learning. Chesthetica is able to use the technology to express original creative thought in this domain. It also never had behind it a team of highly skilled programmers, consultants or the kind of hardware millions of IBM or Google dollars could buy. Depending on the type and complexity of the problem desired, a single instance of Chesthetica running on a desktop computer can probably generate anywhere between one and ten problems per hour. 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.

A seemingly earlier version of Chesthetica on a problem composed later (based on the date and time stamp) simply means that version may have been running on a different computer or operating system user account. Okay, let me think for a minute if there's anything else to say here. Did you find this one interesting or have something else to say? Leave a comment below! Note that not all the chess problems are like this. They cover quite the spectrum of solving ability and there are thousands published already.
