Computer-Generated Chess Problem 03622

Now, this is a ‘KQRBBN vs kqr’ mate in four chess construct composed autonomously by the prototype computer program, Chesthetica, using the approach known as the DSNS from the sub-field of AI, computational creativity. There is no known limit to the quantity or type of compositions that can be generated.

8/BQ6/3R4/3B1N2/5k1K/5r2/4q3/8 w – – 0 1
White to Play and Mate in 4
Chesthetica v12.50 (Selangor, Malaysia)

Solvability Estimate = Moderate

Most changes to Chesthetica that result in a slightly higher version number are simply to improve the interface or fix a minor bug, by the way. White is ahead by two bishops and a knight. Try to solve this puzzle. Do try some of the others in the series as well before you go. As a whole, these problems are intended to cater to players of all skill levels.

Computer-Generated Chess Problem 03621

Take a look at this ‘KRRBBP vs kqrnn’ mate in five chess construct composed autonomously by the program, Chesthetica, using the DSNS computational creativity method. It does not use endgame tablebases, artificial neural networks, machine learning or any kind of typical AI.

Solvability Estimate = Easy

Most changes to Chesthetica that result in a slightly higher version number are simply to improve the interface or fix a minor bug, by the way. White actually has less material than Black yet still wins. The white army is down by about three (Shannon) pawn units in value. Why not time yourself how long it took you to solve this? Take some time to study the analysis and you might appreciate the puzzle a little more. Anyway, if standard chess isn’t your thing, you might instead like SSCC.

Computer-Generated Chess Problem 03620

What we have here is a ‘KQR vs kn’ mate in three chess puzzle by a computer program, Chesthetica, using the computational creativity approach which doesn’t use any kind of traditional AI or even deep learning. Chesthetica has the creative ability to compose positions on an 8×8 canvas that may otherwise take centuries to arise in an actual game, if ever. You can learn more about the DSNS here.

Chesthetica, especially if running on multiple computers or operating system user accounts, is capable of generating far too many compositions than can be published in a timely fashion here. The newer ones will therefore only be published some time later. This is why the composition or generation date above does not match today’s date. White has a rook and a queen for Black’s knight. 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.
