				| I definitely worked hard on this puzzle; just couldn't find a move that provided major damage.

				| Another puzzle that seems to have a "tight" sequence of steps. Sorry! |  |

 Danny, you have absolutely nothing to be sorry about; everything within the classification is fair game
   
 Besides, I firmly believe that we do not want to find ourselves in the same situation as the Daily Sudoku VH puzzles where all are solved with a xy-wing. Variety is the spice of life....
