What we have here is a 'KQNPP vs kpp' mate in three chess puzzle 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). This position contains a total of eight 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.

Sometimes an earlier version of Chesthetica is credited for a more recent problem because that version was still running on that computer at the time. White has a decisive material advantage in this position but the winning sequence may not be immediately clear. Did you find this one interesting or have something else to say? Leave a comment below! Feel free to copy the position into a chess engine and potentially discover even more variations.
