Knight Non-Consecutive Sudoku III

Put in each row, in each column and in each 3x3 block the number from 1 to 9. In addition the eight close knight move cells must not contain consecutive numbers.

In case you prefer to solve the puzzle with more logical methods than by trial and error etc, you have to apply three advanced methods one after the other to solve the bottleneck of the puzzle. The first two steps are special cases of forcing chain:

  1. x-cycle with groups in 2
    r2c1-r2c7=r9c7-r9c3=(r3c3|r2c3)-r2c1: r2c1 != 2
  2. empty rectangle in 6
    r9c3-r5c3=r5c9-(r9c9|r7c9|r8c9)=(r9c9|r9c7|r9c8)-r9c3: r9c3 != 6
  3. almost locked set XZ rule
    ALS:(129)[r2c3|r2c4], ALS: (289)[r3c3|r3c7], restricted common: X=2, Z=9: r3c4 != 9
After having eliminated the three candidates, the rest of the puzzle can be solved with simple steps.

Solution code: The first and the ninth row.
