This Puzzle variant which can be described as an anti-king (a cell can't be the same as any of its direct 8 neighbours) with a top-down Rt-Left wrap ... is an easy one

The wrapping will make each cell have 8 cell neighbours including the edge & corner cells.
example of such a grid with cell r1c1 & its 8 neighbours:

Here is the puzzle which I'm providing the solution later

Code:
8..1.2..................5...1.7.........5....3....4...2.8..................9.8...
 8 . . | 1 . 2 | . . . 
 . . . | . . . | . . . 
 . . . | . . . | 5 . . 
------+-------+------
 . 1 . | 7 . . | . . . 
 . . . | . 5 . | . . . 
 3 . . | . . 4 | . . . 
------+-------+------
 2 . 8 | . . . | . . .

Another nice paper solvable - Although I did have problems with the wrap by my third pint of Guiness.

Hint:
64 is a 2-digit square number, so a cell that has 4 can't be adjacent to a cell that has 6

Wait! Does that mean you finished it in 3 pints, or did you have to resume the following a.m.? I think we may have stumbled on a new rating system! ('Course, it may be a "6D" system with all of the added factors.)

I just printed it out, and am going to have to teetotal to have any chance at it! :lol:

I only came across these nice puzzles a few months ago. A typical variety for this forum which has so many different types of sudokus.

I initially got stuck on the Anti-King Wraparound puzzle and my late evening glass of single malt (whisky) didn't help much. Then I came back to it today, early evening, and managed to spot the anti-Kings that I'd been missing before (I do them manually on my Excel worksheet), the hardest one to spot being the naked pair {67} in R2C9 and R3C1, which eliminated 6,7 from R2C23.

tarek doesn't seem to have posted the solution to this puzzle.
Solution:
8 5 6 1 3 2 4 7 9
1 4 3 5 9 7 8 2 6
7 2 9 8 4 6 5 1 3
6 1 4 7 2 9 3 8 5
9 8 2 3 5 1 7 6 4
3 7 5 6 8 4 2 9 1
2 9 8 4 1 5 6 3 7
5 6 1 2 7 3 9 4 8
4 3 7 9 6 8 1 5 2

The No Squares and No Tennis puzzles were both easy.

Having originally got stuck on the No 8 Knight puzzle; I've now had another look at it and realised I'd missed a knight move, then I needed a short forcing chain to force one placement which allowed me to finish it, so it felt a bit harder than Easy.
