Anti Anti Extra (Sudoku)
(Published on 31. December 2021, 15:10 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in a cage must sum to the little number in the upper left, and may not repeat in the cage. Cells which are a chess knight's move apart may not contain the same digit. Cells which are a chess king's move apart may not contain the same digit. Digits in the grey-green cells form a complete set from 1-9. I think this puzzle is 3 stars out of 5 for difficulty for many solvers. As always, comments welcome!
On a personal note, I just want to thank this marvelous community of setters and solvers; head-scratchers and pencil-chewers; a group of individuals who don't ask much from the world - a smooth logic path; an "aha" moment every once in a while; occasionally, a 3-in-the-corner song gleefully sung sotto voce. You all and this wonderful game of sudoku gave my life glimmers of light in a rather dark time. So thank you, and Happy New Year, one and all! With warmth, --PDN.
Solution code: First row of puzzle, and fourth column of puzzle (read top to bottom). Enter as a string of 18 digits, no spaces.

I am used to complete the problem with PAD/Phone, if you can provide CTC links, I think I will complete every question you set, thank you!
** There is a widget which converts from f-puzzles to CTC app. Join the CTC Discord, and ask there. And - my last 20 or so puzzles do have a CTC link. Thanks for your interest!

This wasn't as difficult as I first thought. But a very nice puzzle.
Happy new year to you too.
** Well I'm glad you enjoyed!

Anti-knight with anti-king is very overdone, so it felt very easy.
** Overdone? Interesting. I don’t come across so many of them. I hope future or back catalogue puzzles are more to your liking.

More of a two star imho, but I am pretty familiar with this variant. Great puzzle, really enjoyable. Happy New Year! Took 20:20 fwiw
** Thanks for the feedback! And Happy New Year to you as well!
