I just didn't expect to get wrong solution for submitting the grid with an empty cell.
It will be better to mention such things.

This August, the Indian team was in London for the World Sudoku and Puzzle Championships. I have been recapping my personal experiences there, and I will continue to do so, with two parts left in the series. However, it is … Continue reading

To begin with, congrats to Kota, Jakub O and Tiit who take the top 3 spots respectively. Also, congrats to Kishore for topping the Indian rankings with an awesome performance. Kishore's improvement over the last two years has been tremendous and it bodes well for the Indian team.

I was simply blown away by the participation in this contest with 384 solvers in total(343 Non-zero scores). When the contest began Deb and I had assumed there would be about 60-70 official Indian entries but the numbers were beyond our imagination. Total of 147 Indians took part (125 Official).

Let me try and explain how the Idea of Sudoku Mahabharat began. When we were in London for the WSC, During lunch, the discussion moved towards the Indian team composition and how Rohan, Prasanna and I had become a constant feature and everyone else fighting for the remaining fourth spot. Thats when we decided why not create a Grand Prix style of tournament for Indians where the top players are ineligible to participate. This would give others a chance to compete with no prior notions and will help them remain motivated.

Since this was the first episode and I was entrusted to begun the tournament, it was not an easy task to determine the difficulty of the puzzles. There was always this battle whether the puzzles are too easy or too hard. We had to keep in mind the target audience in India. For some of the regular international players this might appear to be a glorified beginners contest, and I may agree to a certain extent, but I have to thank my testers Rohan and PRasanna for testing and the countless discussions/arguments we might have had in finalising the puzzles. This mix would not have been possible without their insights.

Untouch 9x9 was the highest rated Sudoku, but its nice to see that nearly all the puzzles were rated in the same range. My personal favourites were the Untouch 9x9 and the Quadruple 9x9. Even the classics, which I don't think I'm that good at writing in general, were well received. There were a few negatives of course, like points allocation being off for some solvers. This is again to majorly the timings of the testers and personal solving experiences might always differ. Also each solver has their own method of approaching a puzzle and that in the end will determine how the answer keys are selected. It's not an exact process but obviously the intention is to have the points distribution as fair as possible. Personally I think most of them were accurate.

I Hope you all enjoyed the contest and we look forward to similar patronage for the upcoming episodes.
