Thanks, Guybarry, interesting to hear other solvers' views. I slogged my way through that puzzle!

PS I found today's puzzle far less daunting than it looked. The instructions were lengthy, but I didn't find them incomprehensible.

I've only been doing the Inquisitor for a few weeks, after getting bored with the rest of the "i" puzzle section. I've been doing "standard" cryptics for about forty years but I'm new to these barred puzzles, having never attempted an Azed or anything like that. There seem to be a lot of extra conventions that don't exist in the standard cryptics, and I've been struggling a bit as a result, although I've managed to complete the last four with a few hints from this forum.

Is there any general introduction to barred puzzles that I can look at? At times I feel like someone who's only ever done the concise crossword, struggling with his first cryptic!
