Couple more questions?
Sure

In Tamas Antal's round, in the ABC connection can we assume that all cells will be used?
There's no information about it, so it's not necessery to use all the cells.

In the Japanese round in the first Zenbeya puzzle does the symmetry apply to all regions, even those without a clue number (the example implies this)
Yes it apply to all regions.

Some more questions and comments (from David McNeill):

Nikola's round:
In Tapa Chess - do the chess pieces block each other?
Arukone Battleshipts - does every cell have to be used?

Tawan's round:
Navigational Sudoku - doesn't seem to have a unique solution.
Water and Fire has a misprint in the grid and Scrabble has a misprint in the word list.

Russian:
Loop doesn't have a unique solution in top left corner.

Some more questions and comments (from David McNeill):

Nikola's round:
In Tapa Chess - do the chess pieces block each other?
Arukone Battleshipts - does every cell have to be used?

1. This situation is avoided. Each chess piece has own full view.
2. Not necessary.

A last minute question.

Matus, Multiple Fences, Multiple Yajilin:
Is it allowed that one loop is inside the another loop?
