The UR Type 4 was in the old VH+ rating, and the X-Wing is in the VH rating.

I recently combined Basics and Basics+ into just a Basics rating. I also combined turbot, VH+, and Advanced into just an Advanced rating. Finally, I added Remote Pair to the VH rating and S-Wing plus L-Wing to the XY rating. Here's a copy of my current ratings and notes on the XY rated wings.

Code:
===== ===== ===== ===== Ratings are Accumulative in Techniques ===== ===== =====

Basics:    Naked/Hidden Single/Pair/Triple/Quad, Locked Candidates 1/2

VH:        BUG+1, Remote Pair, UR Type 1, X-Wing, XY-Wing

Advanced:  2-String Kite, Skyscraper, Empty Rectangle, finned/Sashimi X-Wing,
           XYZ-Wing, UR Type 2/4

XY:        M/W/S/L-Wing, XY-Chain, BUG+2, BUG+3, other URs

Extreme:   Chain, Loop, SIN (Single Inference Network)



M-Wing:      (A=B)   -  B  =   (B-A)   =   A

W-Wing:      (A=B)   -  B  =  B  -   (B=A)

S-Wing:     A  =  A  -   (A=B)   -  B  =   B   {1st A and last B in the same house}

L-Wing:     A  =  A  -  A  = (A  -  B) =   B   {1st A and last B in the same house}
(reverse)   B  = (B  -  A) =  A  -  A  =   A   {1st B and last A in the same house}
___________________________________________________________________________________

Note the presence of "other URs" in the XY rating. I've actually posted puzzles that had this as the XY step ... and I plan to continue slipping them in periodically.
