Sudoku Variants Series (400) - Upper right heavy killer
(Published on 22. November 2024, 00:00 by Richard)
For this jubilee sudoku I have chosen the variant that pushed me over the edge to continue with SVS. It is a variant that appeared in last WSC in Beijing and when I made a decent practise puzzle for my team mates, I got my usual mindset back: 'what can be done with this variant?' The negative constraint can be very powerful here, so I worked that out and enjoyed it so much that it triggered me to pick up SVS again. So this one is to celebrate the return of the motivation!

Thanks.congratulations on the milestone 400.
There's potential on upper left, lower left and lower right, bigger or smaller :-)
Haha, those are not on my list. :-)
But even without those, my first 'spot on the horizon' is SVS500 in november 2026...

This is very clever. Some nice flow once I sorted out the logic of the new variant. That negative constraint really is doing some work!
