Not gonna lie, I was at my wits' end more than once and nearly gave up at a point. It took everything I had to not have to guess and I really missed the option to "pencil in" tentative solution to rule out dead ends. I'm not a chess master to keep several steps in advance in my head!
Whew, what a challenge! Hands down the most difficult puzzle I did so far, and I did quite many from the high difficulty end.
Surprisingly pretty result, too.

wow, really challenging, it actually required me to discover some new techniques even after having solved 250 of these puzzles before!
replyGreat challenge, difficult and long but worth it
replyVery nice (confess to a bit of a cheat to get it started!) Thank you :))
replyThe most difficult puzzle I have done so far, and I have done a lot. I had to fight for each square until almost the very end. Thank you for this great challenge!

Oh boy, that was unpleasant. Managed it without hints, though. There's a really interesting trick here that might help you get a few good anchors, so I'll post it in a spoiler comment below.

Start by solving the bottom right and top right (there will mostly be X's up there). Once you're properly stuck, look at the top three rows (we'll call them A, B, C). The trick is that there literally is only one place you can put both the 5-long cyan blocks in row B without breaking rows A or C. The same thing can be done for columns A, B, C on the left side of the puzzle.
