I make videos for fun. My videos are about solving classical sudokus without the use of pencil marks or notation. Most of the videos will be directed at beginner to intermediate solvers who want to challenge themselves.

    When you didn’t immediately place the 2 in block 6, said is a function of your power of concentration along a given path! You see clear lines to a solve - one can only admire your cognition. I shall not forget your warm voice and passionate intellect! Wishing you the best of good health snd happiness, David

    Skipped ahead to see if youve used candidate markers. None were used. The whole time i was thinking when were you going to put it down...as it makes remembering and completing the puzzle much easier.

    @NMalteC that works for easy and mid level, but for harder puzzles, you can't solve without marking down candidates. I came to see how I can use more advance tactics to solve harder puzzles as I can already do ez to mid.

    I'm one of your silent subscriber, so I'm sorry for not telling you sooner how much your daily NYT Sudoku videos meant to me. In fact, meant to me and bother, as we both do NYT medium and hard sudokus daily, and regarded your videos as a par time we compared ours to. I've learned a lot from your videos, my brother even started solving without notations just like you do, which still looks like an unbelievable achievement to me. I very very rarely could compete with your time using notations, but when I did, and I know it's silly, it always made my day a bit better, put a smile on my face. You know, a silly kind of an achievement. Your videos were something constant in my life ever since I've found your channel, therefore I'm sorry to see you go, but understand your reasoning. Thanks for everything, and wishing you all the best. Your two Hungarian fans. :)

    That's enough Sudoku for now. Really, my heart isn't in it today. I'm on autopilot, just pointing at the horizon (52 = row 5 column 2): 52, 86, 78, 25, 11, 62, 56, 96, 55, 59, 58, 38, 21, 13, 29, 88, 71, 39, 24, 35, 14, 27, 33, 31, 22, 92, 89, 19, 45, 68, 97, 72, 87, 18, 17, 69, 48, 42, 66, 46, 41, 43, 81, 91, 79, 99, 75, 83, 95, 73, 84, 74, 85, 64, 44, 63, 61.

    This had a rather tricky step, which I imagine you resolved faster and more efficiently than I did. I have yet to watch some of these last videos. Plenty of time to do so. A sad day (26 = row 2 column 6): 26, 74, 69, 28, 39, 77, 11, 88, 47 (hidden single, owing to hidden quads in row; not easy to spot), 53, 82, 79, 99, 87, 67, 57, 33, 36, 32, 61, 48, 58, 68, 16, 27, 17, 14, 24, 44, 42, 42, 62, 51, 65, 49, 59, 96, 73, 12, 71, 23, 13, 25, 15, 22, 21, 92, 86, 85, 46, 94, 56, 75, 81, 91, 45, 54.

    I liked this one. It unfolded very neatly. I'm not sure whether I saw the early trick, but I certainly noticed a UR a bit later. Here, though, is my path without it (67 = row 6 column 7): 67, 38, 59, 48, 68, 49, 88, 89, 28, 29, 27 (UR available at this point), 45, 15, 87, 33, 24, 76, 91, 99, 53, 83, 63, 34, 74, 75, 36, 35, 66, 16, 14, 56, 95, 94, 65, 54, 44, 42, 41, 82, 79, 77, 19, 17, 81, 12, 11, 72, 71, 32, 31, 52, 51, 22, 21, 62, 61.

    I've been trying to work out what makes these puzzles so easy. This one, for instance, didn't look easy at the beginning, but then put up virtually no resistance. Did you really want to publish so many videos on the same night? I think there may have been a technical glitch. Anyway, this is my last one for tonight. I'll do the rest tomorrow, if they're still up (92 = row 9 column 2): 92, 23, 16, 66, 35, 11, 68, 37, 59, 38, 28, 71, 22, 29, 19, 89, 79, 86, 77, 85, 46, 75, 94, 96, 76, 34, 24, 25, 21, 65, 55, 63, 78, 17, 18, 67, 61, 32, 31, 33, 82, 81, 83, 51, 41, 53, 57, 58, 97, 98, 47, 48, 87, 54, 44, 52, 42.
