That is actually what the name is supposed to be, sorry for missing it. It'll be changed, thank you! :)

Version 2 of the IB is now published. As always, changes have been made on the doc, the example links may not be completely consistent.

Changes -
- Points distribution added.
- PB Pages added.
- Change made to names (Faded Kropki to Faded Kropki Pairs and 1-2 Consecutive Pairs to 1-2 Difference Pairs), both are the names the author intended, and make more sense for the variant too.
- Small text added to Faded Kropki Pairs rules to allow for 1-2 pair being both 'consecutive' and 'one digit double of the other'.
- Small text change to Pencil Marks rules so that there's no confusion in the PB where it says "The part in brackets is for the large puzzle".

Really? Two chains and an empty rectangle required for 8pt classic?

I just needed one small chain, everything else was basic techniques. It might help to know at what point you had to use these?

It's from sudoku.coach, so maybe it's because it has to follow strict techniques but humans don't have to?
btw the grid that it says chains are necessary at 012547080035180742487000050059008060008060500006305810061800405803654090594000608, and it gets r5c2=4 after those three steps
