A new if not unique KQRBP vs krb chess problem generated autonomously by the program, Chesthetica, using the 'DSNS' computational creativity approach which does not use any kind of machine or deep learning. You can learn more about the DSNS here. The largest (Lomonosov) tablebase today is for 7 pieces which contains over 500 trillion positions. With each additional piece, the number of possible positions increases exponentially. It is therefore impossible that this problem with 8 pieces could have been taken from such a database.

@chesthetica there is several interesting options and variations for a force checkmate. This is one option or variation I would play.
Yes, but that's 5 moves, not 3.
I didn't find a forced mate in 3 but I will keep looking
OK, how about this?
The key move is wrong. Black can extend to a mate in 4 with several replies to it (using the bishop).
OK, I will view the video
