Kings and/or Knights
(Published on 5. August 2022, 03:08 by Scruffamudda)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
In this puzzle every digit conforms to an anti-king and/or anti-knight constraint.
Identical digits share the same constraint/s and consecutive digits (eg 1 and 2) must share at least one constraint.
Digits separated by a black dot are in a ratio of 1:2.
All possible dots showing a 1:2 ratio are given.
Solution code: row 9

Very involved logic and needs high focus throughout. Fun to solve. Thanks, @ Scruffamudda :)

Very nice! :^) And thanks @derKrampus for the clarification

Very nice ! That was a refreshing ruleset in the domain of the anti-knight anti-king puzzles which usually lead to the same type of scanning in the late solve. Thanks.

Beautiful!

That is not what it means, @DVFrank. A digit satisfies *at least* 1 constraint, but it can satisfy both of them as well. so for example if 1 satisfies constraint A, then 2 can either satisfy only A or both A and B. And if 1 satisfies both A and B, then 2 can satisfy either only A or only B or both A and B.

A thoroughly enjoyable puzzle, not too stressful for the beginner but also not too easy. That's a tough balancing act and this puzzle pulls it off beautifully.

What does "consecutive digits must share at least one constraint" mean? As I am reading this, that would immediately imply that there is only one global constraint - but why then phrase it this way?

Very nice and challenging ruleset. Thanks @Scruffamudda

Nice one! The coloring process was fun and surprising, the disambiguation part was mindbending.
