Congratulations Rakesh, Kishore and Saheer for taking the top 3 Indian spots. After 3 rounds, Kishore leads the leaderboard, followed by Rakesh and Jayant.

Congratulations also to Jan, Kota and TiiT for their very impressive timings and finishing as top 3 overall.

Thank you everyone for their feedback, I'm happy that the round was generally liked by all.

There has been some comments about the difficulty of some sudokus - I don't have much to add other than what Prasanna has already mentioned. But I would encourage players (especially new players) to post here if they are not able to solve any of the variants logically.

So, three rounds over now, four more to go. It has been an exciting tournament for the organizers with so many Indian players participating.

Over to Rakesh for the Outside round.
