Chairman,
Thanks to found this out so quickly. You have a good memory!
Btw, I am curious on how long it took you to solve the 2 harder ones (8/9 and 9/9)?

Xses, FP, Highlander, save position. Only Stumpy's 'done it'-trick I did not use. I did not do them in one stroke. Might have used about an hour for each of them. |

They have so many white squares leading to many highlander patterns and highlander deductions (especially 9/9), which makes me think that there is new highlander patterns to be discovered. (Edit:) For example the top left corner area of 9/9 (#265) have so many blank squares: including a box of 4 cols x 2 rows right in the corner. But when you think about it, there is only one way to set this whole corner area so there is no ambiguous square (the usual highlander argument): the nearby clue 3 square being the key element.
