The shaded/unshaded rule doesn’t seem to be necessary to solve the puzzle. Nice GAS though!
RailMan: Thanks for solving the puzzle and I hope you enjoyed it. Without the shading rule there are 2 possible solutions. I wanted to create a puzzle that avoided the Checkerboard pattern of regular 6x6 anti knight sudokus as much as possible. The rule and shading were added to highlight this but they are only needed once to disambiguate the puzzle.
Dingledork: Maybe I missed something, but in my solve those otherwise deadly patterns in the NW and SE corners were just resolved by the knight’s move. I am pretty drunk, though

Nice little puzzle, solve time was 5 minutes for me so I’d say 1 star difficulty. But very enjoyable!
