This is my very first sudoku, so please have a go!
Rules
- Normal sudoku rules apply: the digits 1-9 must go into each row, column and box exactly once.
- Anti-knight rules apply: digits may not be placed a knights move away from the same digit. A knights move is 2 along and 1 across, in any direction.
- Thermo rules apply: digits on the thermometers must increase from the round bulb end.
- Partial Kropki rules apply: The black dot denotes a ratio of 1:2 in the touching cells. Not all possible kropki dots are filled in.
Thanks for looking at my puzzle!
Solution code: Please enter the digits from column 8, taken from top to bottom.

Thank you - I honestly didn't expect anyone to find and play the puzzle (but I did share the link in CtC discord). I am very happy and honoured that you folks are enjoying it. Thanks for the feedback! It's great encouragement to try making another one some time.

Hey craig9, thank you for this enjoyable puzzle! At the start I quickly got going and thought the puzzle might be easy. But it put up a good fight (especially requiring to make use of the anti-knight restriction). I also enjoyed the placement of the given digits. It's a very beautiful puzzle. Great job!

minor side-note: tinyurl had an outage for a bit yesterday (maybe half an hour or so, or that's how much I noticed).

Looks like F-puzzle link is good for me now (at least on the phone, not sure for pc). I guess it’s due to either tinyurl having some issues or some incorrect edits for tinyurl link, since directly exported F-puzzle link works fine.

Thanks folks. I am glad you like it. I have tried the f-puzzles link in a new private browser window and it seems to work fine for me. I will keep looking into it though. For now I will post the full URL in the description. I think it's the short-url redirect that may be causing an issue.
