Computer-Generated Chess Problem 03444

Published online for the first time, consider this KRBBN vs kqrp chess puzzle created by a computer using the computational creativity approach which doesn't use any kind of traditional AI or even deep learning. There is no known limit to the quantity or type of compositions that can be generated. 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 9 pieces goes even beyond that and was therefore composed without any such help.
