Hello.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Each box contains a King, represented by the digit that matches its box number. The digits needed to complete an entropic set and a modular set act as rooks.
Entropic sets are low (123), mid (456), and high (789). Modular sets are mod1 (147), mod2 (258), and mod0 (369).
In box 1, the digit 1 is the King. The digits 2, 3, 4, and 7 are rooks, since 2 and 3 complete the entropic set, and 4 and 7 complete the modular set.
There is exactly one King in each row, column, and box position (i.e., a disjoint set).
No King may be in check by a rook within the same box.
Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio.
Have fun.
Solution code: Row 9, first 6 digits.
