Celebrating Scojo's prompt to use irregular regions along with an anti-knight constraint.
- Irregular 10-sudoku rules apply: place the digits 0 to 9 once each in every row, column and region.
- Cells one chess knight/king move apart may not contain the same digit.
- Grey lines are palindromes: their digits read the same in either direction.

Superb puzzle, not always easy to spot the next best step, but a lot of fun and coloring!

Very nice! Had to restart a couple of times, colouring was not straightforward and could overlap, presumably an intentional part of the design?

This was a challenge!!! But, WOW it was worth it! Every time I got stuck it kept me coming back for more as I was sure I could break it, and finally I am so proud I did!

I am not sure why I decided to do this for my 7th puzzle, apparently I like a challenge. My eyes hurt now. If you’re stuck in the beginning like I was: 1’s, 2’s, 3’s, & 6’s were some of my earliest digits placed.

What a wonderful puzzle! Took me over two hours but the logic was so fun to figure. Thank you for sharing!

@Lorena I completely agree. Took me more than one hundred minutes with patience and much colouring.
But still enjoyed it

Some puzzles, I gently persuade and coax of their secrets. Others are subjected to relentless bludgeoning until they relinquish them. This was of the latter kind. There is almost certainly a better way to do it but, unfortunately, I lack the finesse. Thank you for the challenge. It was enjoyable, in a sadomasochistic sense.

A great addition to the irregular coloring puzzle pantheon! I really enjoyed this.
