9 Cages
(Published on 4. October 2021, 23:25 by DVFrank)
Normal Anti-Knight and Killer Sudoku rules apply, that is: Any two cells that are a (chess) knight's move apart, can not contain the same digit. Numbers in a cage must sum to the clue in the corner of that cage.
This puzzle took heavy inspiration from Fry the Guy's puzzles "Ten Knights" and "Fourteen" (which are fantastic - be sure to check those out)! If you're interested, you can show for 0 bonus points, that it's impossible to set a valid puzzle like this (with nine as a cage sum) without any given digits.
Enjoy! :^)
Solution code: Row 9 (left to right)

I found the break-in really original and beautiful (and the rest of the puzzle was cool too, although I struggled a little with the anti-knight). Thanks.
[Thanks a lot for the nice feedback and keeping at it! :^)]
