Abstract
Let P and Q be uniquely completable partial Latin squares. It is an open problem to determine necessary and sufficient conditions so that the completable product P⊗QP⊗Q is also uniquely completable. So far, only a few specific examples of P have been given such that the completable product of P with itself (P⊗PP⊗P) does not have a unique completion. In this paper, we find a whole class of such partial Latin squares.
