If a=7, b=7, c=1 leads to <46> "triple" in r7c189
I think c=(1)r4c9 leads to pair( 4|6)r7c89 which sets r7c1 to 7 which can be written as a chain in Eureka Notation as:
7r2c1 - r2c79 = r1c9 - (7=1)r4c9 - (1=4|6)r7c89 - (4|6=7)r7c1 - (7=6)r2c1 => - 7r2c1; stte

Thanks for the notation Clement, I didn't think you needed a chain when three <46> pairs appear in one row

I probably should have explained it---- If a=7, x=<46>, b=7, c=1, x=<46>

Very interesting! And I noticed that if you take Clement's contradictory chain and apply the typical trick (which I learned from him and Marty) of beginning the chain one cell over, you'll end up with a forcing chain with pincers on both ends.

In this case it would be:
7r2c79 = r1c9 - (7=1)r4c9 - (1=4|6)r7c89 - (4|6=7)r7c1 => r2c1 <> 7; stte.
