Look closely at row 2.

There are basic moves left but this puzzle will require a very advanced move to complete.

Hmmm ... require a very advanced move to complete?

For some reason I was able to complete using basics only - and I double checked just to make sure I didn't make any mistakes!

Happy Valentines Day all! Dart

That's funny, I have that same book. I haven't done that many puzzles from it yet, but those I've seen don't live up to the book's title. Having said that, I don't see a solution to this one yet.

If that's true, then a bug has crept into my program. Actually, the chain you posted doesn't "fit" what I remember for his "third way" either.

You are correct. I tripped up in several ways. Sorry!!!

Like beauty, "simpler" is in the eye of the beholder. I used Medusa, simple coloring (possibly not needed) and an external analysis of the 34 UR. Definitely simpler for me, as I don't understand all the Franken stuff.

Code:
r1c5 or r3c6 = 6
r1c5=6 -> r2c7=6, r5c8=6, r4c8=4         -> r4c4<>4   
r3c6=6 -> r7c6=5, r6c8=5, r6c6=2, r4c6=4 -> r4c4<>4

I don't know if this is a simple solution,
but I think it's easy to understand.

Not so easy for me, SudoQ. I can't get either chain to work starting from the position after basics.
