Yagit

Rules

Draw vertical and horizontal lines along the gridlines, going from one grid edge to any other grid edge, i.e. no loops within the grid. The lines can make 90° turns only where black dots are located. Divide the grid into regions where each region contains only A or only B, i.e. not both, and not empty. Lines may cross each other anywhere except at the black dots. All black dots need not necessarily be used.
