Place the digits 1 through 9 once in each row, column, and 3x3 box.
Digits in cages must sum to the clue in the corner. Digits separated by a V must sum to 5, and digits separated by an X must sum to 10. Not all possible Vs or Xs are given.
Each digit is associated with a chess piece: 1, 2, 3, and 4 are kings, 5 is a knight, and 6, 7, 8, and 9 are queens. Two cells containing the same digit must not be able to reach each other with one move of the digit's associated piece.

Woah, that was quite the experience in solving with abstract placeholders/letters. Quite challenging with a lot of possibilities for error - yet incredibly satisfying! Thanks for setting.
