Published online for the first time, consider this KQRBN vs kqp mate in 4 chess construct composed autonomously by the prototype computer program, Chesthetica, using the relatively new computational creativity approach called the 'DSNS'. There is also no proven limit to the quantity or type of legal compositions that can be automatically generated. 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.
