Thank you dennischen!
I re-checked the embedded solution, and it's correct. You probably switched some digits somewhere. It's easy sometimes to do anti-knight instead of knightmare accidentally.
Glad that it didn't affect the solution code for you :)

Lovely :) But, I think CTC sol check doesn't work --- I got the solution but CTC said it was wrong.

excellent puzzle, the knightmare constraint is a bit late to arrive to the party but when it does it takes your breath away with the possibilities it opens up

Is there a bias against new rules? This is one of two really nice and distinctly challenging Knghtmare puzzles I have solved very recently (a third was rather easier). And both are lower rated than they deserve. Anyone who has done knights move puzzles (anti-knight) as much as I have will get a bit confused and make mistakes. But this puzzle is a great construction and a challenging and satisfying solve.

Great puzzle! Definitely my favorite with the knightmare constraint so far.

Fun and good puzzle. I had to restart four times, but that says more about me than the puzzle (tip for anyone else: 7+9 is not 15). I wanted to try a three star puzzle to challenge myself, and this puzzle certainly did. I learned a lot and had to colour code most of the puzzle three separate times to see what was going on. Thank you so much for setting this! Drumsticks will be my knightmare for some time.

Amazing puzzle, feels really different from other knightmare puzzles too.
