Two steps with another boring but effective (and long!) xy-chain...

kite(4) (4)r1c2=r9c2-r8c3=r8c5; r1c5<>4
xy-chain (9=2)r2c1-(2=9)r8c1-(9=8)r8c6-(8=247)r789c5-(4=8)r3c5-(8=6)r3c8-(6=5)r2c7-(5=9)r1c8; r1c23<>9, r2c9<>9

Your xy chains are on steroids Peter. Laughing

I understand the International Sudoku Board is proposing random urine tests before and after Danny's Adanced Puzzles to catch such chemically-enhanced chains before they ruin the sport... Wink

My first four steps were the same as Ted's but I finished with a UR on 12. Looking at the implications of same, r9c4=1.

Peter, Ted, et al: why post moves with lots of cell details without an accompanying grid so people can try and follow along?

I can supply a grid that could be used as a starting point, but I'm not prepared to include the link necessary to load it into this site's Sudoku program.

I don't use the sites Sudoku program and I can't transfer the grid + candidates into this format so my dreaded colour grids are all I can provide and I know that's not universally popular.

Maybe someone else is familiar with a way to get your Sudoku program to produce textual grid output.

MM, is there any way you can use Nataraj's format tool, described in the Site Help sub-forum?

Marty,

I include the details to allow others to analyze the steps if they are interested in learning how to perform certain steps. As I have mentioned before, I many times was frustrated trying to learn/understand new techniques because posts did not provide sufficient details.

I also understand your issue with having a grid available to support the details of a step. The problem becomes one of time and effort to prepare the post if a grid is included for each step, plus the size of a post would be significantly larger. At this time, I believe that those folks interested in analyzing a particular step may do so by performing every preceding step.

As an alternative, I would consider posting the grid for "unique/special" steps if you and others felt that would be useful.

Ted

I'll have a look at it Marty.

Being a visual type person, I personally find the use of colours much more explanatory than the Simple Sudoku text outputs with their acsii *,#,& greyish output.

I find Norm's diagrams are the best as they explain more (to me) pictorially and succinctly. I am slowly trying to get to grips with the package he uses but being a simple soul, I sometimes feel like the guy who has bought a washing machine loaded with hundreds of features he will never use.
