Suppose these two moves could be multiple turbot moves instead...

Rambling:

One useful technique that I failed to add to my solver is Remote Pair. I often encounter equivalent results through overlapping turbot patterns being listed for two values. I just have to manually catch it.

For this puzzle, my solver found 2x UR Type 1 prior to listing several identical turbot patterns for the Remote Pair elimination r1c8<>89. Had I used Colors and checked for Remote Pairs, I would have found several Remote Pair eliminations present.

Code:
 basics

         Colors                          <> 8    r6c7
         Colors                          <> 9    r6c7

 basics

         Colors                          <> 8    r89c7,r1c8
         Colors                          <> 9    r89c7,r1c8

Fortunately for me, the turbot eliminations for r1c8<>89 were sufficient after the URs. (Whew!)

Regards, Danny
