Product Description

Product Description
Here it comes: a revolution in sudoku solving! This is by far the most complete guide to cracking these addictive puzzles ever produced, with tricks even the experts won't know. While most books might have a few pages of introduction before proceeding straight to the sudokus, this one covers it all. Hidden pairs, naked pairs, X-wings, jellyfish, squirmbag, bivalue and bilocation graphs, turbot fish, grid coloring, chains: every single one is here, and much more too, including the exclusive Gordonian logic methods (Gordonian rectangles and Gordonian polygons) that will turn even the hardest puzzles into a breeze. Of course, there are hundreds of sudoku for practice. This is a reprint of the very first sudoku ever published in 1979, from "Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games" magazine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product, 12 Jan 2008
By Evagelos Argoudelis (Greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book on end December 2007 for my father who is a very advanced Sudoku player. Unfortunately, there are not any advanced Sudoku books in the Greek market (where we live) so every time I have to buy for him books from Europe, where I travel alot. I have found very strong puzzle books in the UK and in Germany but the books containing techniques and strategies were always "basic" with rather obvious hints for the very advanced player.I didn't know the actual content of the book before buying it so I didn't have many expectations. My father was thrilled with it and after reading it he was able to implement the techniques in solving some diabolical puzzles that he couldn't before. He recommends it as the best Sudoku book he has read. 2 weeks later I ordered 2 more copies for his friends who were also amazed. Excellent choice.

Also excellent was the delivery by amazon.co.uk: I ordered the book in the middle of Christmas holidays and I was surprised to see it arriving 4 working days later - by normal post delivery!!!

I am extremely satisfied both by the product and by amazon services!

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book at your peril!, 19 Mar 2009
Why do they do it?
Members of Mensa, I mean ------- treat the rest of us like cretins?
The author adopts an extremely off-putting style of writing about what is, after all, an extremely absorbing subject.
I'm no Brain of Britain, but the book has nothing new to offer, apart from the regurgitation of topics which any sudoku-geek remotely interested in the subject has already mastered.
To digress a little, the best teacher I ever came across was a Charlie Eppes-style of mathematician who could make the most abstruse branches of maths fascinating, as well as fun to learn. No wonder his courses were always over-suscribed by post-grads!
Anyway, as I've already said, if you wish to be turned off a subject by an author blinded by his own apparent brilliance, buy this book.
