This is my first attempt at setting and publishing a sudoku puzzle. As a non-native English/German speaker, I welcome any feedback on language clarity or puzzle design. Please feel free to share suggestions, and I will refine it promptly.

Rules:

• Normal 6×6 sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-6 once each in every row, column, and 2x3 box. The two rightmost columns are only for reference purposes.
• Each digit represents a unique chess piece with its standard movement, to be determined by the solver:

  King: Attacks all 8 adjacent cells (orthogonal or diagonal)

  Queen: Attacks cells vertically, horizontally, or diagonally in any distance.

  Bishop: Attacks cells diagonally in any distance.

  Knight: Attacks cells in an "L-shaped" move (2 cells in one orthogonal direction + 1 cell perpendicular).

  Rook: Attacks cells vertically or horizontally in any distance.

  Pawn: Attacks only the diagonally adjacent upper-left and upper-right cells. The pawn in row 1 doesn't attack any cell.

• Attacks will not be blocked by other pieces.
• A digit cannot be attacked (by its corresponding piece's movement) by another digit of the same value.
• Killer cages: The number in a cage's top-left corner equals the sum of all digits whose corresponding piece is attacking the caged cell, excluding the caged digit itself. Multiple attacks from the same type of pieces must be counted individually.
