""" Cross-Domain Transfer Benchmark — Chess Puzzles → SAT Solving ================================================================ Hypothesis: An AI trained on 10 curated chess mate puzzles — each tagged with a transferable kernel (greedy, sacrifice, propagation, fork, etc.) — can meaningfully improve SAT-solving performance on benchmark instances whose structural features match those kernels. Run: pip install python-sat python kernel_sat.py The benchmark compares 3 players on the SAME instance set: 1. BASELINE — single fixed solver (Glucose3) with no kernel awareness. 2. RANDOM — picks a solver per instance uniformly at random. 3. KERNELSAT — picks solver/preprocessor based on chess-trained kernel.
