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
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.
- Palindromes: All four colored lines are palindrome lines. Digits on a palindrome line read the same forwards and backwards.
- Individual colors: Each of the four colors represents one of the line types below. Each color is a different type. The solver must determine the correct type for each color.
- German Whisper: Two cells connected by the German whisper line must have a difference of at least 5.
- Kindred line: Adjacent digits on the kindred line line must have a difference of less than 3.
- Parity line: Digits on the parity line alternate between odd and even numbers.
- Region sum line: Box borders divide the region sum line into segments. Digits in each segment sum to the same value.
Solution code: Column 1 from top to bottom (9 digits, no spaces)

I’m really enjoying this series! Having different constraints for evens and odds keeps messing with my brain, I often have to restart a puzzle because of that, but finally solving it gives so much satisfaction :-). Please keep them coming!!
