(Published on 27. August 2024, 09:52 by bboom)
This puzzle is part of a series I'm making, exploring the odd anti-knight / even anti-bishop mechanic. Other puzzles in the series can be found here:
- First Practice (easy puzzle to try out the anti-bishop/anti-knight rule)
- Deranged scribbles or modern art?
- Knight and Bishops, dancing around dots
- Anti-Knight and Anti-Bishop Killer
- Bishops eat their sandwiches at 5:29
- Minimalist art or more deranged scribbles?
- Directionless Knights and Bishops
- Scribbled art in deranged colors
Puzzle rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Odd anti-knight: Cells separated by a knight’s move in chess cannot have the same odd digit.
- Even anti-bishop: Cells separated by a bishop’s move in chess cannot have the same even digit.
- Killer: Digits in cages must sum to the number in the top-left corner and cannot repeat.
Solution code: Row 9 (9 digits, no spaces)

That was absolutely brutal. 120 minutes in total. I got badly stuck with 8 correct digits in the grid, until I realized some of my pencil markings had applied anti-knight logic to even numbers.

Nice! I don't think I used the 23 cage in my solve.
