Renban Anti-Knight
(Published on 15. January 2022, 12:58 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits on a purple renban line must be consecutive, but can be in any order. Digits may not repeat on a renban line. Cells which are a chess knight's move apart may not contain the same digit. I think this puzzle is 3 stars out of 5 for difficulty for many solvers. As always, comments welcome!

I'm not ashamed to say this took me over 2 hours and 2 tries, but it was worth it!
It's a twister to figure out how the renbans interact with your remaining candidates.
Nice puzzle.
** Yeah the jump from 2 stars to 3 stars can be quite, eh, dramatic. :-) Great job!
