Long time... Hi!

Ted! Erstwhile king of almost-wings... Smile

Code:
xy-wing(12-7)r5c9,r5c3,r7c9
||
(7)r5c9* - r4c8=(7-6)r4c1=r4c4 - r3c4=r3c5 - r8c5=r8c8 - *(7)r8c89=r8c123 ; r7c3<>7

Peter, I have a problem with selective memory that ignores a contradiction. This section of your chain, r8c8 - *(7)r8c89, ignores the fact that (7=)r5c9 also results in (-7)r7c9. If this elimination is also remembered, then there's a contradiction where all of the 7s are eliminated in [b9].

I would have preferred two steps:

Code:
(7)r4c8 = (7-6)r4c1 = r4c4 - r3c4 = r3c5 - r8c5 = (6)r8c8 ; r8c8<>7

<12+7> xy-wing r5c9/r5c3+r7c9 ; r7c3<>7

Where the first step is an embedded chain in your chain.

Regards, Danny

Selective memory doesn't worry me... best to ignore the collateral damage of chains and use the outcomes that are helpful!

Anyway it was only a bit of fun - I think I initially had an l-wing and then the xy-wing...

I have selective memory. I just wish I could do the selecting!

Splitting of an equivalent of Peter's single step (Kraken 1R5) into 2 Wings ....

#1. ANP(12=6)r69c8-6r9c6=6r5c6-(6=1)r4c4 => -1r4c8
#2. (7=1)r7c9-ANP(1=27)r5c39 => -7r7c3
