				|  	  | Quote: |  	  | Instead of the X-wing on 5s, there is an AIC which eliminates the 9 in r9c1 pincers at r5c1 and r9c5 
 (9=2)r5c1-r5c4=(2-5)r4c5=r3c5-r3c6=(5-9)r8c6=(9)r9c5

				| I found an ALS 259 in r67c2 that made a deletion but while looking for another possible deletion, I found a conflicting chain that solved the puzzle in one step. 
 (2)r5c1 - r5c4 = (2-5)r4c5 = r3c5 - (5=9)r3c6 - r8c6 = r8c3 - r79c1 = r5c1: r5c1<>2.
