Very good puzzles Andrey. I would vote for Yin Yang and Star Battle as my favourites.
All grids had very good use of the overlapped regions, and that was what makes these samurais stand out. I had a tough time solving Fence (during and after the test)!

I look forward for another test by you :-)

Practice for "copy-paste"?

I had fun. I ended up doing better than I thought I would at the start. Fences broke me up in the beginning, so put it down after a while. My favourites were the Easy as ABCD, the Battleships and the Fences.
The Yin Yang really broke me up. I made a correct deduction, except then I made another mistake which i didn't notice. So I thought my first deduction was wrong and wondered how else it could work. Eventually realised there was no other way and solved it, but it really cost 10 minutes too long to solve.
Fences were the hardets for me. I eventually realised the main logic deduction relating to the overlapping areas in Fences, but I had already solved A and B almost completely by then.
