Antiknight and Antiking: Any two cells separated by a knight's or king’s move in chess cannot contain the same digit.
Kropki Dots: Digits separated by a black dot have a 2:1 ratio. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.
Solution code: Row 9

Is the title "For Humans Only" communicating that you don't want people to see the rules and immediately assume toroidal looping? After the break-in, assuming looping made things much quicker, but I don't know how to *prove* that it stems from the antiking and antiknight constraints--I just always seem to find that it results.

Author's note: Thanks for your comment and question! I named it that because for some reason the website I use to create and playtest my puzzles couldn't solve this one with its algorithm and I thought that was interesting! I explain it more in the tutorial video if you're interested. As for looping, I don't mind if people use it or not. In my opinion, however someone enjoys solving is the right way for them to do it!

REALLY enjoyed this one - very satisfying interaction of constraints. Thanks Addie :>

Fun puzzle and nice setup! Before trying, you should know the secrets of this combination of rules, which are probably explained in the tutorial. Thanks

Thanks for the tutorial. And the puzzle :)

Very clever. A bit tricky in places and definitely harder than 2 stars! Liked the step that determined the 2/8s and the way the 5s worked.

23 solves, 2 stars ... and I'm stumped. Ah, well.
