Now, this is a 'KQBBN vs kqqp' mate in 5 chess puzzle created by the program, Chesthetica, using the Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate (DSNS) computational creativity approach. It doesn't use endgame tablebases, deep learning or any kind of traditional AI. There is also no proven limit to the quantity or type of legal compositions that can be automatically generated. This position contains a total of 9 pieces. The largest endgame tablebase in existence today is for 7 pieces (containing over 500 trillion positions anyway) which means the problem could not have been taken from it regardless.

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. Chesthetica composes only unique or new constructs. If you have seen it before, cite the source and comment below because it is purely coincidental. Do share and try out some of the others too. Collectively, these puzzles are intended to cater to players of all levels.
