Great puzzle. Solved it in 35:00. I like to fill in candidates in such puzzles so as not to forget any deductions I make along the way. It also helps finding naked singles or pairs and triples.
This was a surprisingly smooth solve for me, though plenty of tricky deductions to be seen all along the solve path! Comparing times, 36:08 vs 24:33 (conflict checker off), so definitely a bit better at finding those tricky spots this time around! Many thanks to MavericksJD for this great puzzle.
The central cell () numbers are restricted high or low (56789 12345) as four numbers must me be higher or lower than them... the givens restrict them further. Follow the logic. Completed in 19m55s.
33:43 I loved this one. Searching the pairs was very fun!😎

That was harder than it should've been. I think I need to give my brain a break.
I did surprisingly well on this one. Apt title may have helped :)
At 9:28, why can’t 1 go in R6C9?
I agree that was a mistake, but after some left-side logic I forget the specifics of, it does get eliminated
Coloring the restricted areas upfront would have been helpful, IMHO. And cleaning the grid when stuck seems sensible.

Cool puzzle but a nit too much for me.
Settled for watching Bremster.
