Normal sudoku rules apply.
Long diagonals contain only unique values.
If A is a box-center, and A and B are a knight's move apart, then A and B ought to be different.

A knight's move constitutes going up/down by two followed by going left/right by one, or going up/down by one followed by going left/right by two:

. . B . B . .
. B . . . B .
. . . A . . .
. B . . . B .
. . B . B . .

(1) the 9s in columns 3 and 4 contradict the knight's-move restriction.
(2) a 9 cannot be placed in the middle 3x3.

column 4 has already a 9 in row 7.

the two spaces in column 5 are both restricted by the 9 in column 3 (same row and knight's move).

r4c6 is in a main diagonal that already contains a 9 in column 7.

r5c6 is within a row with a 9 in column 3.

r6c6 is within knight's move from 9 in c4

there must be an error in the initial values.
