The Stable King 2
(Published on 4. July 2024, 16:55 by NurglesGift)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Any digit inside a cage can not be separaded by a king's or knight's move (in chess) from the same digit.
Any digit outside a cage must be separaded by a king's and/or knight's move (in chess) from at least one of the same digit.
See example below.
Digits within a cage must sum to the total in the cage corner.
Digits can not repeat within a cage.

Example
The 7 is within a cage and therefore none of the blue cells in box 2,4 and 5 can contain a 7 i.e. can not be a king's or knight's move away from the 7
The 6 is not within a cage and therefore at least one of the yellow cells in box 5,6 and 8 needs to contain a 6 i.e must be a king's and/or knight's move away from one or more 6's
Solution code: give the digits of column 4 and 5 (top to bottom)

I loved the puzzle. The only problem I had was with the sudokupad checker going crazy about a situation where 2 digits separated by king's move outside the cage, so I had to turn that checker off

Here is a version of this puzzle with anti-king and anti-knight disabled for the conflict checker: https://sudokupad.app/6iqhcxfd86

Well, it is surely just me, but this 1* puzzle took me over an hour. Fun solve though.

yes the checker read king's move in the rules... but can press settings and set conflict checker to off.

very nice.. got confused with sudokupad rule checker. It was really unhappy about something

I found this much easier than the previous one (probably 1-1.5*). Still a very fun puzzle, thank you!
