Computer-Generated Chess Problem 03722

Published online for the first time, consider this KQRBP vs knp chess construct composed autonomously by a computer program, Chesthetica, using the Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate computational creativity approach which does not use any kind of deep learning. There is no known limit to the quantity or type of compositions that can be generated. The largest complete (Lomonosov) tablebase today is for seven pieces which contains over 500 trillion positions. With each additional piece, the number of possible positions increases exponentially. It is therefore unlikely that this problem with eight pieces could have been taken from such a database.

Solvability Estimate = Difficult

Even with the same version number, each copy of Chesthetica 'evolves' and may perform somewhat differently over time. White has a queen, a bishop and a rook for Black's knight. If this one is too easy or too difficult for you, try out some of the others. Feel free to copy the position into a chess engine and potentially discover even more variations. Anyway, if standard chess isn't your thing, you might instead like SSCC.
