Now, here we have a 'KQNPP vs kqbb' three-move chess puzzle created by a computer 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. Chesthetica is able to generate various types of mates and study-like constructs and also compose problems using specific combinations of pieces fed into it (e.g. instructing it to compose something using perhaps a queen vs. three knights).

White to Play and Mate in 3

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 still wins. The white army is down by about 1 (Shannon) pawn units in value. Hint: there might be a pawn promotion involved. 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. As a whole, these problems are intended to cater to players of all skill levels.
