This Anti Knight Sudoku is one of the special Sudoku puzzles which I submitted for the World Sudoku Championship 2017. In the later stages, this Anti Knight Sudoku was dropped from World Sudoku Championship(WSC) 2107 but was used in the special Sudoku Competition called Player Vs. Player (PvP) Sudoku Contest during the WSC 2017. PvP was a Sudoku knockout Fun Sudoku contest that was part of extra programs during the nighttime at the World Sudoku Championship 2017.
This Anti Knight is not very tough, but this is having a very interesting solving path which will require some special techniques to be used for solving this Sudoku puzzle.
