Chess Sudoku by Studio Goya combines the strategic elements of chess with the classic number puzzling of Sudoku, offering players a fresh challenge for their minds.

August Update: 15 new King puzzles have been added, completing the collection of 100 puzzles!

Introducing Chess Sudoku, a captivating game that brings together two of the most popular mind games in the world: Chess and Sudoku! Presented by Cracking The Cryptic, the renowned Sudoku channel on YouTube.

Chess Sudoku features three unique puzzle types: Knight Sudoku, King Sudoku, and Queen Sudoku.

Knight Sudoku: A variation of the classic sudoku game with an additional rule. In addition to the standard sudoku constraints, digits cannot appear in cells that are a knight's move away from each other.
King Sudoku and Queen Sudoku: These variants follow the same rules as normal sudoku, but with added twists. In King Sudoku, digits cannot be diagonally adjacent to each other. In Queen Sudoku, every '9' acts like a chess Queen, prohibiting its presence in the same row, column, 3x3 box, or diagonal as any other '9'.

As with their previous games, such as 'Classic Sudoku' and 'Sandwich Sudoku', Simon Anthony and Mark Goodliffe from Cracking The Cryptic have personally crafted the hints for each puzzle. This ensures that every puzzle has been thoroughly play-tested and guarantees an enjoyable solving experience.

In Cracking The Cryptic's games, players begin with zero stars and earn stars by successfully solving puzzles. This system motivates players to tackle more puzzles and unlock greater challenges. Only those who demonstrate exceptional skill will conquer all the puzzles. Rest assured, the difficulty levels have been meticulously designed to provide a wide range of challenges for players at every skill level.

Mark and Simon, both esteemed representatives of the UK in multiple World Sudoku Championships, have also created numerous puzzles available on Cracking The Cryptic, the internet's largest sudoku channel.
