				| Certainly more of a challenge for me than the Friday Free Press MM (basics!) - two steps with a nice ADP/ALS sort of move   
  	  | Quote: |  	  | skyscraper(9) r5, r9 ; r4c1<>9, r8c2<>9 
 ADP(79) forms a pincer (7)r1c9 and (7)r7c7...
 
 (7=1)r7c7 - ADP(79)r13c27:[(1)r3c7=(248)r1c126] - (2=7)r1c9 ; r13c7<>7, r78c9<>7

				| Great move Peter ! 
 I initially skipped looking for single digit patterns and found several steps with some value but definitely not great. I started again and spotted your first move and then your second move, which I handled in a different fashion but same result.

 The 79 DP means either
 R1C2 is 28 > R1C9=7
 or
 R3C7 is 1 > 7C7=7.
 
 Why not just eliminate the 7's as shown?

				| Where is this puzzle from? I first thought it was the Sunday diabolical from here, 
 http://www.sudoku.org.uk/daily.asp
 
 But it's not.

				| Well, it's not the #1960 that shows, so I'll let someone else figure out what's what. 
 W-Wing (49); r5c2<>4
 XY-Wing (894); r8c4<>4; transport; r9c1<>4
 Chain; r8c2<>9
 XY-Chain; r9c8<>4
