• Normal Killer Sudoku rules apply.
• Adjacent digits along green German Whisper lines differ by at least 5.
• Digits a chess knight's move apart are never identical.
Hope you enjoy the puzzle! 😄 - Any feedback or comments welcome!
Solution code: Column 1 (top to bottom) & Row 8 (left to right) (18 digits)

wow. impressive how the 5-square works out at stage 2 of the solution (although i didn't find that without bifurcation). the next stage is rather tricky, requiring a chain through the 10 cage. after that, the power of the knight dominates.
X: Thanks for playing, and glad you were impressed, but no bifurcation or chain should be required. If you’re on the CTC Discord, please feel free to message me for more information on how it was intended to be solved. :)

Found it very easy, like a 1* (normally i struggle with 3*) - can’t explain why…

Woah I nearly desperately resolved to bifurcation, when suddenly the penny dropped. Fantastic setting!
