For those who think the NR puzzles are too easy.

No chains/extensions/transports allowed!

 | . . 7 | . 6 . | 3 8 . |

This is scary! I also had 13 steps and 4 kites (or finned x-wing which is equivalent). Is it possible that we have identical solutions?

My biggest problems were a xyz-wing and a naked quad.

Danny, I liked the idea of a BBDB series. One of these periodically will be great

Ted, it is my intent to post BBDB puzzles occasionally. The no rules will always apply.

I find it interesting that you and Norm found kites in the solution. Normally, everyone skips/misses the kites when there's a turbot fish/ER present for an elimination.

I was trying to not use extensive chains as was proposed by Danny in the original post. This gives the puzzle a certain "cadence" feel where the moves come one after with certain moves depending on the one before.
