I always get tripped up by Knightmare by adding in pure knight constraints. So I had to break the puzzle and go slower than normal on this one.

I absolutely loved this puzzle! The knightmare constraint seems to go very well with the XV clues, and the solve path was smooth like butter. Masterful setting as always!
