Computer-Generated Chess Problem 03651

Here is a new 'KQRRP vs kbnp' mate in three chess puzzle or problem (whichever you wish to call it) composed by the program, Chesthetica, using the Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate AI computational creativity method. Chesthetica can compose problems that might otherwise take centuries or longer for human composers to think of, so you may enjoy them right now. Chesthetica is able to generate mates in two, mates in three, mates in four, mates in five, study-like constructs and also compose problems using specific combinations of pieces fed into it (e.g., composing something original using only a rook vs. five pawns). Read more about it on ChessBase. The largest complete endgame tablebase in existence today is for seven pieces (Lomonosov) which contains over 500 trillion positions, most of which have not been seen by human eyes. This problem with nine pieces goes even beyond that.

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 or generation date above does not match today's date. White has two rooks and a queen for Black's bishop and knight. Do you think you could have composed something better with these pieces? Share in the comments and let us know how long it took you. Some of these problems may be trivial for you, especially if you're a club or master player, but bear in mind that chess lovers can be found at all levels of play. Therefore, do consider some of the other problems available. You can probably find something more to your taste. If you'd like to learn something interesting about computer chess problem composition, consider this.
