*** KICKSTARTER LAUNCHED - FOG OF WAR ***

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
ThePedallingPianist is still busy creating beautiful sudokus aplenty (as well as dealing with new fatherhood!) Here's a lovely idea involving placing three nested Latin Squares into an 8x8 grid - hence the title, Russian Dolls. Can you discover its secrets?!

Play the puzzle at the following link:

https://sudokupad.app/8nPBD7G8JG

Rules:
In this puzzle, a Latin Square is defined as an NxN grid of cells that contain only the digits 1 to N where N is greater than 1, in which digits do not repeat in a row or column. This puzzle contains exactly three Latin Squares: one within another within another. Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) may not contain the same digit. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive; digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio (ie one digit is double the other).
