Feels weird that the 2-off exists, the real path just feels so much longer lol. Cute level though, like your other chess puzzles it is hard to reason about optimizing.
I had a 2 off. I thought: OK, one more where I will be - like for many others that type - stuck forever. But no! I had just forgotten an important point that is oft the key to 2 off: ************. I needed two more tries to get it right. Glad!
Very streamlined, very enjoyable. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
