Here is a new 'KQNNPP vs kqrnp' mate in five chess puzzle or problem (whichever you wish to call it) composed by the program, Chesthetica, using the approach known as the DSNS from the sub-field of AI, computational creativity. 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., instructing it to compose something using perhaps two queens vs. four rooks). Read more about it on ChessBase. This position contains a total of 11 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.

Some of the earliest chess problems by humans are over 10 centuries old but original ones by computer are very recent. Get a glimpse into the 'mind' of a computer composer. 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. If you'd like to learn something interesting about computer chess problem composition, consider this.
