The Sudoku Professor doesn’t simply give you “tips” to help solve puzzles, but rather presents you with a logical way to approach and think about sudoku … Anyone can do simple “cross-hatching” or fill the squares with numerous candidates … There’s no logic in that – no use of mental acumen … The joy in solving sudoku, especially the extreme puzzles, is figuring out the patterns … The techniques which Chad shares help to unlock those puzzles without endless frustration … Once you learn the value of “double-doubles” (crucial to solving) and “thinking outside the box,” you can solve almost any puzzle (even those nasty computer generated ones) …

As you proceed through the video lessons, you realize that you have the necessary building blocks to logically solve puzzles … You don’t need those sophisticated “swordfish” and elaborate “chain” techniques in order to solve even the trickiest puzzles … In essence, Chad gets you to think about how to approach each puzzle by recognizing what the puzzle gives you … It’s a remarkably simple yet effective way to deal with puzzles of all degrees of difficulty … Once you reach the graduate lessons, you will have developed a newfound confidence that allows you to solve any puzzle in a relatively short period of time …
