Eliminate Sudoku type first time I saw in the 9th World Sudoku Championship 2014. This Sudoku I created this for the practice of the Indian Sudoku team.
I am generally able to create most of Sudoku on my first attempt. However, this Sudoku took 3 attempts to make corrections. My first version has all the arrows given in a heart shape, but it did not work. I tweaked some of the arrows and later found that now my Sudoku was not unique. Then I tried to exchange some numbers which made this Sudoku wrong and this mistake was found by Prasanna during his testing of this puzzle. In my next attempt, I removed some of the conflicting arrows. Removing some of the arrows made this puzzle correct as well as a little tougher. This puzzle is having a very narrow solving path and so I will rate it as tough.
