An original 'KQBBP vs krn' #5 chess construct composed autonomously by Chesthetica using the DSNS computational creativity approach which doesn't use any kind of traditional AI. 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 8 pieces could have been taken from such a database.

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. Remarkably, Chesthetica never composes duplicate problems using its DSNS technology. 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. Feel free to copy the position into a chess engine and discover even more variations of the solution.
