Rules:
- Standard: Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
- Anti-knight: Digits must not repeat in cells that are a chess knight's move apart.
- Little killer: Digits along diagonals pointed to by arrows outside the grid must sum to the number listed. Digits may repeat along the diagonal if otherwise allowed by normal Sudoku rules.

This puzzle is very hard, the break-in is very complex. I don't know if there is an easier way to solve it.
Thank you.

Very very nice setup! I loved how clean the logic is, as soon as you find the right perspective! :^)

The German translation is a bit whacky - the chess knight translates to "Springer", so that "Anti-Ritter" and "Schachritter" should be replaced by "Anti-Springer" and "Springerzug" respectively. :^)

Amazing puzzle. The break-in is sure not easy to find but even after that, there's logic in it that most people would not think to look for. This is definitely a very hard puzzle but a very beautiful one indeed.

Thanks a lot for trying it out. The puzzle went through 3 iterations. The first version was very tough, the second one too easy. This version is probably the most difficult of the 3, since the break-in is very concealed and the clues stripped down to fairly close to minimum required for a logical solve. Congratulations on beating it :)
