Consider this 'KRNPPP vs kqbbn' three-move chess problem generated autonomously by a computer using the DSNS computational creativity approach which doesn't use any kind of traditional AI. Chesthetica has the creative ability to compose positions that may otherwise take centuries to arise in an actual game, if ever. Depending on the type and complexity of the problem desired, a single instance of Chesthetica running on a desktop computer can probably generate anywhere between one and ten problems per hour. The largest endgame tablebase in existence today is for 7 pieces (Lomonosov) which contains over 500 trillion positions, most of which have not been seen by human eyes. This problem with 11 pieces goes even beyond that and was therefore composed without any such help.

If you notice any version of Chesthetica 'skipped' from one problem to the next, that simply means additional (minor) changes were made to the program before it was set to run again. It looks like the solution might involve a pawn promotion. Do share and try out some of the others too. Solving chess puzzles like this can also help improve your game. If you're bored of standard chess, though, why not try this?
