Surprisingly, this gave me a lot more trouble than the Anti-Knight version. On my first attempt, I ran into a contradiction at the very end. On my second solve, I got it but each attempt took longer than my single solve for the other ruleset.
Loved the ruleset, after both Kakuros beat me, its nice to win two in a row.
