Marty, there is a 45 pair in R8. Further basics get you here:
Code:
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 28   6    1    | 237  5    2347 | 9    248  37   |
| 28   9    4    | 37   6    1    | 5    28   37   |
| 3    5    7    | 9    8    24   | 6    124  12   |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 5    4    3    | 26   7    8    | 1    26   9    |
| 6    7    28   | 4    1    9    | 28   3    5    |
| 9    1    28   | 5    3    26   | 4    7    268  |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 1   *38   9    |*368  2   -356  | 7    56   4    |
| 7    238  5    | 1    4   *36   | 28   9    268  |
| 4    28   6    | 78   9    57   | 3    125  128  |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+

The XYZ-wing -368 is also a one-stepper.

Not at all. Take the gap, as a rugby fan might say.

6-cell Type 2 UR(28)b4,b6,b9 does not make any direct deletions. However, using the internal inferences hits pay dirt:

6r6c9-(6=2)r6c6-2r4c4=2r1c2
6r8c9-(6=5)r7c8-5r7c6=(5-7)r9c6=7r9c4-ANS(37=2)r21c4 => r1c4=2

Ted, I think the (37) AUR does the same thing.

The (28) pattern is a BUG-Lite and the outs are locked, not usually a promising scenario if you're looking for something that can't be found more easily.

I suspect Ted found a BUG-Lite much more fun than a simple Type 1.

How about a single chain.

(6r6c9=6r8c9)-(6=5)r7c8-(5=36)r78c6-r6c6=r4c4=>r4c8,r6c6<>6

Fun?? This isn't fun, it's sudoku! Very Happy

More to the point, then: there's no need to reference the DP if one wishes to work with (6)r6c9=(6)r8c9. Those 6s are locked.

(BTW, your chain had the puzzle solved after (5=36)r78c6.)
