Computer-Generated Chess Problem 02488

Take a look at this 'KRBB vs krrn' mate in 3 chess problem generated autonomously by Chesthetica using the relatively new computational creativity approach called the 'DSNS'. You can learn more about the DSNS here. The largest endgame tablebase in existence today is for 7 pieces (Lomonosov) which contains over 500 trillion positions, most of which have not and never will be seen by human eyes. This problem with 8 pieces goes even beyond that and was therefore composed without any such help whatsoever.

White to Play and Mate in 3

Solvability Estimate = Difficult

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. The white army is down by about 2 (Shannon) pawn units in value. Try to solve this puzzle. Do try some of the others in the series as well before you go. Collectively, these puzzles are intended to cater to players of all levels. Anyway, if standard chess isn't your thing, you might instead like SSCC.
