 How did you come to know about Indian Sudoku Championship? I am a regular visitor at LMI forum.
 Did the Instructions Booklet (IB) provide enough information about participating in ISC? Yes, mostly.
 Did you understand the Sudoku variations rules and examples from the IB? I understood most of them.
 Did you find enough easy Sudokus to solve during the championship? Yes, there were many of them.
 Did you find enough easy / familiar variations to solve during the championship? Yes, there were many of them.
 After your experience in ISC, are you going to participate in future championshiops or contests at LMI? Most likely


I enjoyed the session very much. Lost a couple of minutes at the start because firstly, I forgot to click the online button, and also the puzzles took a while to load on the screen. I seem to have made some mistakes, there is a claim message, how does this work ? I don't attempt the other puzzles that appear on this forum, so I do hope the monthly sudoku contests continue in a regular fashion. I would like to give more stars but three seems to be the max.

First query - claim message. If you think your mistake is just a typo, like say you've probably just entered 1 number wrong while entering the key, or swapped rows somehow, then it is a means to bring that to the notice of the organizers. In the end, it is up to the organizers themselves to decide if your claim is valid or not of course.

Second query - Sudoku Contests do continue in a regular fashion. Visit the forum regularly, and you'll know when the next one is. Also, you can always give the past tests a try as a leisure time solve/practice

The only complaint in an otherwise perfect test was that the 6X6 puzzles which were expected to be most accessible were a bit tricky.

The points suggested that they would be difficult, and I used trial to get past them quickly, but that is something which newcomers are not accustomed/keen to do.

I totally agree with amit, 6x6 were really tricky but it is justified to have spent some 20 plus mins on 100 points.. Overall a wonderful contest.

Congratulations to Prasanna for excellent performance and good luck to Indians in Beijing.
Ignoring the Screen Test, I think we have to go back 3 years (Mastermind Twins) which I organized and you participated.
You had spent so much time on Times Sudoku that I really didn't want to ask you to pre-test this one. Thank you so much for being there all the time.

I take this opportunity to thank the authors for providing some wonderful Sudokus.

Classic Sudokus, Sudo-Kurve, Thermo Sudoku, Arrow Sudoku - Thomas Snyder
Pinocchio Sudoku, Diagonal Sudoku, Killer Sudoku, Renban Sudoku - Bastien Vial-Jaime
Smashed Sums Sudoku, Vudoku - Serkan Yurekli

I am indebted to the test solvers - Bram, Gotroch, Matus, Nikola - who gave very significant input and feedback in a really short amount of time.

Thank you everyone for your kind help.

Indian Sudoku Championship - Results


The Indian Sudoku Championship is officially over. Both the official Indian Score page as well as the International score page are now public. 15 participants submitted all 24 Sudokus correctly, including 3 Indians.

Congratulations once again to the trio of Prasanna Seshadri, Rohan Rao and Rishi Puri for a strong showing at the top again. Prasanna's score of 1232.7 points was good enough to defeat the defending champion Rohan who scored 1181.2 points. Times Champion, Rishi, had a close 3rd place finish with 1158.1 points. Some good performances from the experienced contenders, Gaurav Korde and Amit Sowani, and Kishore Kumar showing a lot of potential with a solid 6th place, building on his good performances in recent LMI tests as well as the Times Championship. The International top 3 places were taken by janoslaw, Kota and daisuke_t. Prasanna finished at an impressive 6th place in the international rankings.

Thank you all for participating, and please keep visiting the forum for more puzzle contests and discussions.
