Very nice image, and I did not do any guessing. But it was challenging!

Thanks!

This turned out quite nicely. :)

nice Scarlet...thx

Found to be solvable with deep lookahead by gator.

I had to look 3 or moves ahead (hence "deep lookahead"), but really good solve.

Hey Gator, I was able to solve this without any deep lookahead.

After all the line and color logic, and the green is completely finished, take a look at the 3 clues in R22-25 and the remaining 1 and 2 clues in C28-30.

If R26C29 is black, you run out of room for the 3 clue in R25. Dot this.
If R25C29 is black, same problem in R24. Dots for 29 and 30.
If R24C29 is black, same problem in R23. Dots again for 29 and 30.

And now you have a small enough space for that 2 clue in C29 that you can finish this up with line logic.

I agree. No guessing. Enjoyable, challenging puzzle.

Interesting puzzle. Very tough. I did have to guess a couple of times, but maybe they were really deep look-aheads.
