By the time the National Finals with higher variety and difficulty takes place, only the old guard make it. There are many opinions on why this is the case, but for the purpose of this blog post, I’ll put my own out there: It is quite simply because, at the stage where there is highest participation, there isn’t any exposure to the level at which the Sudoku regulars practice. are all great Sudoku solvers who are regularly in the top 10, but there aren’t many new faces. Sumit Bothra, Jaipal Reddy, Gaurav Korde, Rakesh Rai, Ritesh Gupta etc. Especially now Rohan Rao, Rishi Puri and myself seem to be, without doubt, the best three players in India, switching orders in different competitions over the last two years. The problem is, there aren’t that many new regular Sudoku enthusiasts coming out of it. Though I would definitely do things differently on the publicity side, and I think it could’ve been a whole lot better, the partnership did cause a substantial increase in participation, going from hundreds to thousands. In 2012, the Indian Sudoku team was decided by the Times Sudoku Championship (A National-level event conducted by Logic Masters India and The Times of India) for the first time (Previously, it was decided by the Indian Sudoku Championship, organized solely by LMI). However, it is now time to draw attention to one of the ideas that came up during our discussions in London.Ī little background first. I have been recapping my personal experiences there, and I will continue to do so, with two parts left in the series. Mark and Simon have both represented the UK many times at the World Sudoku Championship and you can find more of their puzzles (and lots of others) on the internet’s biggest sudoku channel Cracking The Cryptic.This August, the Indian team was in London for the World Sudoku and Puzzle Championships. Anyone familiar with their YouTube channel will know that Simon and Mark take pride in teaching viewers to be better solvers and, in these games, they always craft the puzzles with the mindset of trying to help solvers improve their skills. Of course the difficulty is carefully calibrated to ensure lots of puzzles at every level (from easy through to extreme). Only the most dedicated (and cleverest) sudoku players will finish all the puzzles.
The more puzzles you solve, the more stars you earn and the more puzzles you get to play.
In Cracking The Cryptic’s games, players start with zero stars and earn stars by solving puzzles. Fans of Cracking the Cryptic's YouTube channel will recognize many of these authors as some of the most talented creators working today! These puzzles were curated by Mark and Simon and include puzzles made by them as well as from a large number of guest creators. Fans of our previous game Miracle Sudoku will enjoy the hybrid puzzles we have included in the collection including Arrow Knight and Arrow Sandwich puzzles. This simple rule leads to endless variety in the puzzles you will conquer. The numbers found along the shaft of the arrow must sum up to the number at the base. In Arrow Sudoku, every puzzle contains a handful of "arrows" laid out in unique patterns.
Presented by Cracking The Cryptic, YouTube’s most popular Sudoku channel, comes a new game based on our frequently requested variant: Arrow Sudoku.
