Medieval Magic
(Published on 5. September 2020, 10:00 by Frans Wentholt)
You see three colored, Magic Squares. In addition to the standard Sudoku rules, cells connected by a knight's move (chess) must not contain the same number.
I enjoyed being able to limit the number of given digits to just two.
Solution code: Row 8 Column 6

Nice puzzle. I like how Antiknight puzzles end up symmetrical or in patterns.

@Voyager My comment was not saying that my puzzle is better than his/her. I did like the design of this puzzle and gave constructive criticism (it is important to give both positive and constructive negative feedback to a setter, so that in a future puzzle they can make adjustments).
I always mention about less-solved puzzles which have similar logic or similar rule sets. In this case I mentioned about my one, in other cases I have mentioned of other people's puzzles.
The reason I mention about other similar logic puzzles which have less solves, is so that the setter of those less-solved puzzles can get some feedback and make improvements in their future puzzles. This is to try and counteract the effects of the flood of sudokus (which you may or may not be aware of).

In this moment I fall on my knees and pray to the Lord: Lord, please let me never say "My house is much more beautiful as yours!" when I am a guest in the house of another person.

Nice pattern in the end. Maybe you could have made disambiguating the magic squares a bit less easy.
If you want to try another magic square puzzle with the anti-knight constraint, you might enjoy the puzzle with id=0003UA.
Disambiguating the magic square is more challenging in that one.
