Richard's puzzles are always a 10 out of 10, even if they don't involve 10-lines.

Brilliant! I don't think I've ever seen such a sequence before where each deduction is beautiful and creative and just outclasses the previous one - repeatedly. Straight into my favorites!

Started solving sudoku again after a year of break or so, started with your puzzle. What a beauty! Loved the logic to break into this puzzle <3

A perfect introduction of Ten Lines. I noticed the crowned R on the top demonstrating the return of the Sudoku King. Thank you so much for sharing another wonderful SVS-puzzle.

Thanks a lot for your kind words!
I didn't notice the mentioned crown above the R, but your interpretation makes me blush! :)
