Dr. Sudoku Prescribes #10 – Tight Fit Sudoku

Theme: This Tight Fit Sudoku has separate even/odd right/left sides.
Rules: Standard Tight Fit Sudoku rules. Range is 1-9.
Answer String: Enter the 2nd row from left-to-right, followed by a comma, followed by the 3rd column from top-to-bottom. (Note: for the tight fit cells, enter the top digit before the bottom digit as would be normal for the read order of the digits.)
Time Standard: TFSudoku Master = 2:40, Expert = 8:00, Novice = 26:40

Just over the expert time. A smooth, if not blistering solve, and no breaks.
You should have put “odd/even left/right”, so that the text of your theme would conform to the standard Tight Fit Sudoku rules, having the smaller word above the larger word.
