 The deletion can be expressed in several ways. I initially viewed it as an "up/down" skyscraper(5)r5c48 with transport.
 
 Chain(5): r3c8=r5c8-r5c4=r9c4-r9c13=r7c1-r13c1=r1c3 => -5r1c7

				| Hi Clement, 
 Your solution is good; one of several variations possible on 5s.
 
 Your posting is complete and clear. An alternate method of presenting your solution is a single statement. One possibility would be to start with your second statement and walk it backwards and ending with your first statement.
 
 Chain 5: r1c13=r1c7-r4c7=r4c6-r79c6=r9c4-r9c13=r7c1 => -5r3c1
 
 This Eureka notation starts by stating either r1c13=5 or r1c7=5, and then proceeds to specify a logic path given r1c7=5. Note that the first and last statements act like pincers on 5; either r1c13=5 or r7c1=5.
 
 Please ignore this input if it is not useful or desired. I am available to answer any questions you may have.
 
 Ted

 Obviously 5 is the key here. My variation is the Skyscraper ABCD with transport of D to F via E; r5c8<>5.

				| tlanglet Yes, I can see, your notation and approach is shorter and clear. Thanks. Where can I get more details of the Eureka Notation?

 Clement,
 
 I used some information from Sudopedia, but that site seems to have been "trashed" and all information lost. Mostly I learned by reviewing posts by others. The notation is rather easy to follow for xy-chains and other simple logic. I suggest that you search the web for both "sudoku eureka notation" and "sudoku AIC notation".
 
 The Eureka notation is not a frozen standard and is still evolving specifically in handling complex components like AURs, basic patterns and ALSs.
 
 The two rules to remember are
 1) start and end with a strong link
 2) alternate strong link => weak link => strong link, etc.
 
 I will attempt to answer any specific questions. Others on this site with much greater knowledge will also help.

 Not a problem.  After Sudopedia first went offline and came back, I made a copy of the site.  Now, the site is completely trashed.
 
 I have my copy, and it works fine, but I have not been able to share it with anyone else.
 
 I can, however, copy and post particular Sudopedia articles on this site.  Just ask.
 
 Keith

 A gross exaggeration at best but I think you have been into the Scotch.

 Hi Keith,
 
 I would appreciate your assistance to determine the Sudopedia name for the pattern I posted here, Is it called a Kraken x-wing, a fin transport x-wing or still some other name.
 
 Appreciate ............
