Awesome break-in and use of chess constraints. Definitely closer to 3 star for me

Great puzzle! Very tough break in, and very smooth after that.

Thank you for this wonderful puzzle, KMD! I may have missed some easier steps, but for me it felt more like a 3 stars puzzle. Anyhow, it was fantastic to figure everything out using the Anti-king and Anti-knight constraints. Thank you for setting and sharing this beautiful work of art!
