				| UR (35)r12c26 eliminating 35 in r2c2 solves it. |

				I wondered whether a BUG +2 is valid . i.e there are two chains each of which would put a 5 in row 2 if Bug +1 logic were to be applied to the chain. so r2c6 cannot be 5????
 
Can anyone enlighten me? |

				After basics: 	  | Code: | 	 		  +-------------+-------------+-------------+
 
| 29  35  4   | 7   19  35  | 6   12  8   | 
 
| 7   358 6   | 2   18  35  | 145 9   45  | 
 
| 29  58  1   | 4   89  6   | 57  27  3   | 
 
+-------------+-------------+-------------+
 
| 5   6   8   | 3   2   1   | 47  47  9   | 
 
| 4   1   9   | 5   7   8   | 3   6   2   | 
 
| 3   7   2   | 6   4   9   | 8   5   1   | 
 
+-------------+-------------+-------------+
 
| 8   4   7   | 9   36  2   | 15  13  56  | 
 
| 6   2   3   | 1   5   4   | 9   8   7   | 
 
| 1   9   5   | 8   36  7   | 2   34  46  | 
 
+-------------+-------------+-------------+ | 	  Yes, I believe there is a BUG+2:  One of R2C27 must be 5, eliminating 5 in R2C69.

				| In addition to the UR and two XY-Wings and BUG+2, there are at least two XY-Chains which also solve in one step. |

				Marty,
 
 
I see only one XY-wing -457, but I do also see an XYZ-wing 14-5.

				| I used the 358 UR... this one seemed pretty simple. It took me less than 20 seconds after basics to spot it. And I immediately spotted an XY chain |

				| The UR just pops out at you. The XY wing on 457 or the XYZ wing 145 works equally well. |
