				Looking for unusual moves, I found one that I do not know how to describe or notate. It is like a skyscraper except the two pincers do not share a common level, but a simple transport provides a deletion.

skyscraper-like on 6 in r17c3 marked #, plus transport: (6)r1c9 - r89c9 = (9)r8c8; r8c4<>6
 
 
Then two xy-wings complete the puzzle.
 
xy-wing 2-36 with vertex r8c1; r7c56<>3
 
flightless xy-wing 36-7 with vertex r9c9: (7)r8c8 - r46c8 = (8)r6c9; r6c5<>7
 
 
Does anyone have a suggestion how to describe my first move?

 	  | Code: | 	 		  finned Franken Swordfish r17b9\c39b8 w/fin r8c8  =>  r8c4<>6
 
 | 	  
 
As an X-Chain:
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		           [r7]          [r1]           [b9]
 
(6): r7c5 = r7c3 - r1c3 = r1c9 - r89c9 = r8c8  =>  r8c4<>6

				Danny,
 
 
Thanks for the feedback. I have heard of Franken fish, but have never  looked into the technique. Guess this is an occasion to do so.
 
 
As for the notation, my only excuse is jet-lag due to the 38 hours required to fly home. A nightmare trip!
