X-Mates

by EPH (ephsudoku@yahoo.com)

Inspired by BremSter’s puzzle M-Mates, I came up with this.

Standard sudoku rules apply: each row, column, and 3x3 box must contain all the digits from 1 to 9.

10-Mates: a digit, N, in a cell with an arrow, gives the distance to its complement (10-N) in the direction of the arrow.

Solution code: Enter row 9.

@Myfyr MJ I did the same, at first, then realized there was something much simpler.

Probably over complicated it with a 10 cell long chain at the end so I probably missed something obvious.
