I generated this puzzle with JSudoku while experimenting. Thought some of you might like it. SudokuSolver says it requires a couple of moves that I'm not familiar with, but otherwise it looks fairly easy. Let me know what you think of the puzzle, and also your opinion on a difficulty rating.

Code:
SumoCueV1=0J0=7J0=0J1=0J1=0J1=0J1=0J1=9J1=0J2=0J0=0J0=3J0=0J1=0J1=0J2=5J2=0J2=0J2=0J3=5J0=0J0=0J0=0J1=0J2=0J4=1J4=0J4=9J3=0J3=0J0=0J5=5J5=0J2=0J2=0J2=3J4=0J3=0J3=0J3=4J5=0J5=2J5=0J5=0J4=0J4=4J3=0J6=0J6=0J6=1J5=0J5=0J4=0J4=9J4=0J3=6J6=0J7=0J6=0J5=0J7=0J8=4J8=0J8=0J3=0J6=1J7=0J6=0J7=0J7=9J8=0J8=0J8=0J6=9J6=0J7=0J7=0J7=0J7=0J8=3J8=0J8

Thanks - pleasant puzzle

I managed it without using the Law of Leftovers (actually I forgot about it and was just operating in JSudoku highlighted numbers mode) - lots of interesting pointing eliminations.

LOL is essentially a convenience as solution is always possible without using it directly (like the hidden windows in Windoku).

Glad you liked it! :D

One of these days I'll sit down and get a handle on LOL. I want to try my hand at more of the jigsaws. SudokuSolver also mentioned General Common Peer Elimination for this puzzle, and I'm not familiar with that technique, either.
