Sudoku Variants Series (319) - Star Battle Sandwich

(Published on 5. May 2021, 00:00 by Richard)

For this Sudoku Variants Project I have planned to publish a different Sudoku variant every week. I will see how long it takes before I am running out of ideas.

Star Battle Sandwich
Apply classic sudoku rules.
Designate in each row, column and 3x3 block two digits as star, where cells with stars can not touch each other, not even diagonally. Clues on the left and above the grid indicate the sum of the two stars in the corresponding row or column. Clues on the right and below the grid indicate the sum of the digits placed between the two stars in the corresponding row or column.

Inspiration for this type comes from Osh Tirola.

Solve online in F-Puzzles (Thanks to fuxia!)
or Penpa+. (Thanks to Henry!)

Solution code: Row 6, followed by column 4.

Took me a while, but no bifurcation and no mistakes so it must have been a clear path through!

This puzzle might contain a step that is harder to spot in variants, but often occurs in classics. For those of you interested, I have written a few lines of the solving process in a hidden comment.
