Consider this 'KBNPPP vs kbbnnp' chess puzzle or problem (whichever you wish to call it) composed by Chesthetica using the 'DSNS' computational creativity approach which does not use any kind of machine or deep learning. You can learn more about the DSNS here. The largest (Lomonosov) tablebase today is for 7 pieces which contains over 500 trillion positions. With each additional piece, the number of possible positions increases exponentially. It is therefore impossible that this problem with 12 pieces could have been taken from such a database. Any analysis shown for this study could be flawed as chess engines may change their recommendations given more time. The first or key move, at least, is probably right.
Chesthetica v10.67 : Selangor, Malaysia
White to Play and Draw : 2018.6.9 1:37:39 AM
If you notice an earlier version of Chesthetica listed with a newer problem, that simply means an earlier version may have been running on a different computer or OS user account. White actually has less material than Black yet is able to draw in this position. The white army is down by about 4 (Shannon) pawn units in value. Collectively, these puzzles are intended to cater to players of all levels.
