the marked multicoloring on 3 finishes it.

edit:
Mulligan taken on my initial Misleading M-wing; my mindblock made me make mind numbing misplacements.

the marked M-wing gets rid of the 1 in r7c4 and r2c6.

Just cruising around, trying to find out how people are using the m-wing term. How exactly does your deduction above work?

I am not sure which hole this is, but I am taking a mulligan Cool
i'll gladly take my 6th shot on the par 4 if I can put it home from 9 feet.
honestly, I am not sure what I saw now that I look again. but, I have changed the chain in my first step to
(1=7)r9c6 - (7)r9c7 = (7)r4c7 - (7=3)r4c1 - (3)r2c1 = (3-1)r3c3 = (1)r3c4; r7c4 and r2c6 is not 1

very nice puzzle Danny!

Welcome RonK!!! (Sorry for using my solver's chain notation. I know you can handle it.)

Quantity in braces is overall effectiveness of (generalized) M/W-Wing.

Code:
{ 13} -1r9c6  7r9c6  7r4c7  7r5c1  1r2c1   [gM-Wing] <> 1  [r2c6]
{  5} -9r5c3  9r4c3  9r7c6  9r8c9          [gM-Wing] <> 9  [r5c9]
{  5} -3r5c9  9r5c9  9r6c4  9r3c5  3r1c5   [gM-Wing] <> 3  [r1c9]
{  2} -3r4c3  9r4c3  9r6c4  9r3c5  3r3c3   [gM-Wing] <> 3  [r5c3]
{  1} -8r9c5  9r9c5  9r4c6  8r4c4          [gM-Wing] <> 8  [r7c4]

{  2} -3r4c3  9r4c3  9r7c6  9r8c9  3r5c9   [gW-Wing] <> 3  [r4c7],[r5c3]

Code:
gM-Wing:  (Y=X)a - (X)b ... = (X-Y)r = (Y)s  =>  eliminations in peers of [a] and [s] for (Y)

gW-Wing:  (Y=X)a - (X)b     = (X)c - (X=Y)d  =>  eliminations in peers of [a] and [d] for (Y)
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Note: The original definitions for M-Wing and W-Wing in this forum had additional strong links and bivalue cell restrictions that aren't present in the generalized versions.

Thanks for the example. So an m-wing is an x-cycle chain, with a xy bivalue tacked on one end, and a y-value bilocal on the other. That should be easy enough to remember.

However, I don't expect to be frequently using the term wing, even generalized, to a chain with more than three strong inferences.

sounds like a good argument against why xy-wings are still called xy-wings, when the dirty little secret is they are xy-chains.

I guess names just stick, imagine that Smile
