Normal sudoku rules apply.
Grey lines are Palindromes that read the same backwards and forwards. Numbers may repeat on palindromes if allowed by other rules and constraints.
Numbers a chess Knight's move away from each other may not be the same digit.
Little killer clues, outside the grid, indicate the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal. Numbers may repeat on diagonals if allowed by other rules and constraints.
The central box is a Magic Square. Each row, column and diagonal, within that box, add to 15.

Great fun! I used letters instead of colors to take advantage of pencil marks. I can just visualize that better. This is a truly great puzzle with 4 of my top 5 favorite constraints. Thanks.
@ anyeyeball - Thank you for the kind words. I agree, many of my favorite constraints made it in to this one. Palindrome and Chess Knight can make for interesting partners.

Thank you to all 100 solvers! This was an interesting puzzle for me to set and did not turn out at all how it started. The theme was "behind enemy lines" using anti-friendly numbers. But, once it ended up where it did, I really thought it was something special.
I am so glad to see it make 100 solves and such a high rating.
Thank you all!

Vielen Dank an alle 100 Löser! Dies war ein interessantes Rätsel für mich, und es hat sich überhaupt nicht so entwickelt, wie es angefangen hat. Das Thema lautete "hinter den feindlichen Linien" unter Verwendung unfreundlicher Zahlen. Aber als ich es fertiggestellt hatte, dachte ich wirklich, dass es etwas Besonderes ist
Ich bin so froh, dass es 100 Lösungen und eine so hohe Bewertung bekommen hat.
Ich danke euch allen!

Really enjoyed colouring this one! Thank You!!
@ jadezki - You are most welcome! It was a fun puzzle to set and for me to test (and color), as well. The finished puzzle was nothing like what I started out to make, but I really think it turned out to be my best puzzle yet.

I spent sooooo long trying to find the break-in before re-reading the rules and realising I'd forgotten the anti-knight rule. v_v Then it basically all dropped into place. Pleasing puzzle! :-)
@ LeaVulpina - You and me both. Can't count the number of times I was struggling with a solve and went back and read the rules and found the one I forgot ;-)
Glad you enjoyed it.

That took quite a while to figure out in the end even though the "syntax" of the palindromes seemed to be forced before I could prove it. Very satisfying in the end after all the chromatifying!
@ Montikulum - I am glad you enjoyed it. I also find something very satisfying in puzzles that need a dash of coloring to solve ;-)

WOW! One of my favourite puzzles of all time! Absolutely lovely, such a nice flow and satisfying solve.
@ taniabn - Wow indeed! Thank you so much :-) I really felt like this was a good puzzle when I was setting it, but did not expect this level of praise. I am so glad you really enjoyed it.

Absolutely lovely, fun puzzle. Knight and palindrome constraints always make for a beautiful grid! Thanks so much for setting.
@ sacklunch - You are welcome and thank you for solving. Yes, I agree ... I think those are my two favorite constraints. Thank you for the kind words, I am glad you enjoyed it.

Very very nice puzzle! Thank you for setting and sharing! :-))
@ Ragna- Thank you for the kind words :-) I really felt like this was a "better than my average" puzzle. Based on your feedback and others, it looks like it is my best puzzle yet!

@ arteful - Thank you. And I agree, I enjoyed that part of solving this puzzle as well. It had been a while since I set or solved one this colorful ;-)
