				| An xy-chain one-step.. 
  	  | Quote: |  	  | xy-chain (8=3)r3c3 - (3=1)r3c9 - (1=9)r8c9 - (9=3)r5c9 - (3=9)r5c1 - (9=8)r6c1 ; r3c1<>8, r4c3<>8 
 As found, or this more terse AIC with same pincers (4-SIS!?)
 
 AIC (8=3)r3c3 - r3c9=(3-9)r5c9=(9-8)r6c8=r6c1 ; r3c1<>8

				| Quasi the same one 4-SIS proof as Peter's ... 
  	  | Quote: |  	  | 4-SIS AIC : 3C9 9B6 8R6 8C3 : (3)r3c9=(8)r3c3 : => r3c3<>3 
 Peter, in your 2nd chain, there are 4 Strong Links (4 times the equal sign =).  Therefore, you have a 4-SIS AIC : (83)R3C3 3C9 9B6 8R6
