Conditional Generation of Creative Chess Puzzles with Diffusion Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.38577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While modern language models demonstrate impressive generative capabilities, they often struggle with constrained, counter-intuitive creative tasks. To address this limitation, we explore chess puzzle generation as a rigorous testbed for computational creativity and reasoning, a domain where altering a single piece can invalidate an entire solution. We propose a novel approach for conditional generation of creative chess puzzles using masked diffusion models. Unlike previous methods, our non-directional diffusion approach allows for conditioning
