Standard Sudoku rules apply.
SHADING: In the completed grid, cells containing numbers exactly one greater than an immediate neighbour (diagonal or orthogonal) within their box are shaded (and otherwise unshaded).
YIN YANG: The shaded cells form a single orthogonally connected region, as do the unshaded cells. No 2x2 region is wholly shaded or unshaded.
ARROWS: Values in cells with arrows give the number of shaded cells in the indicated direction. All possible arrows are given.
(In Settings>Hide Background Image needs to be set to Off).
Lösungscode: Row 1

Every couple of months, I come back here to check for a new puzzle. I've always loved your work. Hope you are well.

I really enjoy these puzzles, although I find them very hard, especially if I haven't done one in a while! Made a couple of catastrophic errors with this one and had some restarts, but I got there in the end.

--It's very nice of you to ask after me. I'm fine but professional demands on my time mean I have very little opportunity to create puzzles. I'll be back in a few weeks. ---ATK

Since arrows cannot display on my computer, I recreated the grid with answer check. Website: https://sudokupad.app/x92b0wbtad

I agree with some others that this is the hardest one yet and very satisfying!

The first time I got stuck pretty fast... Then I noticed the word 'diagonal'.
The second time I was having a great time until I broke the puzzle... Then I noticed the words 'within their box'.
The third time it still took me a long time, but managed to solve it. A lot of unusual logic in this one.
Great puzzle!

For me this was the best and most challenging puzzle of your YY-arrows-combination. Especially I liked to disambiguate the arrows in r34c6. Thank you very much for creating and sharing this masterpiece.

Wonderful.
I had a great time. Fantastic how it solves with only 15 arrows.

It took me 100 minutes but I made it through! Thank you!

Demands on my time mean I'm going to have to take a break for a few weeks. See you all later.
