Computer-Generated Chess Problem 03761

A 'KRBBP vs krpp' mate in three chess problem generated autonomously by a computer program, Chesthetica, using the 'digital synaptic neural substrate' (DSNS) computational creativity approach. It doesn't use endgame tablebases, deep learning or any kind of traditional artificial intelligence (AI). You can learn more about the DSNS here. This position contains a total of nine pieces. The largest complete endgame tablebase in existence today is for seven pieces (containing over 500 trillion positions anyway) which means the problem could not have been taken from it regardless.
