Contemplate this 'KQBB vs kbbn' mate in three chess puzzle or problem (whichever you wish to call it) composed by a computer using the DSNS 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. The largest complete endgame tablebase in existence today is for seven pieces (Lomonosov) which contains over 500 trillion positions, most of which have not and never will be seen by human eyes. This problem with eight pieces goes even beyond that.

Even with the same version number, each copy of Chesthetica 'evolves' and may perform somewhat differently over time. White is over a rook's worth in material but the precise win in this position still needs to be found. Try to solve this as quickly as you can. If you like it, please share with others. Over time, the tactics you see in these puzzles will help you improve your game.
