Computer-Generated Chess Problem 04014

An original 'KQRBPP vs kbnpp' three-move chess problem generated autonomously by a computer using the Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate (DSNS) computational creativity approach. The DSNS does not use endgame tablebases, neural networks or any kind of machine learning found in traditional artificial intelligence (AI). It also has nothing to do with deep learning. 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 11 pieces goes even beyond that.
