Contemplate this 'KBNN vs kqb' mate in 4 chess puzzle created by a computer using the 'Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate' computational creativity method. It does not use endgame tablebases, artificial neural networks, machine learning or any kind of typical AI. The chess board is a virtually limitless canvas for the expression of creative ideas (even by computer). 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.

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. White actually has less material than Black yet still wins. The white army is down by about three (Shannon) pawn units in value. Try to solve this as quickly as you can. If you like it, please share with others. As a whole, these problems are intended to cater to players of all skill levels.
