Published online for the first time, consider this KRRP vs kqpp #5 chess puzzle or problem (whichever you wish to call it) composed by the program, Chesthetica, using the computational creativity approach which doesn't use any kind of traditional AI or even deep learning. Chesthetica is able to generate mates in 3, mates in 4, mates in 5, study-like constructs and also compose problems using specific combinations of pieces fed into it (e.g. instructing it to compose something using a queen, rook and bishop vs. queen and two knights). Read more about it on ChessBase. This position contains a total of 8 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.

Chesthetica, especially if running on multiple computers or operating system user accounts, is capable of generating far too many compositions than can be published in a timely fashion here. The newer ones will therefore only be published some time later. This is why the composition date above does not match today's date. Chesthetica composes only unique or new constructs. If you have seen it before, cite the source and comment below because it is purely coincidental. If this one is too easy or too difficult for you, try out some of the others. Over time, the tactics you see in these puzzles will help you improve your game.
