Notice the two sashimi x-wings on 3 and 7, both sharing the same cells, r14c59, and making a deletion from the same cell, r3c5. Only the sashimi x-wing on 7 is a one stepper......


If a Kraken fin is in the realm of the Advanced rating, then an equivalent solution is
Quote:
Kraken x-wing (7)r37c78 with Kraken fin (7)r5c8
If x-wing is true; r3c5<>7
If fin is true: (7)r5c8-r4c9=(7)r4c5; r3c5<>7

You can also see it as a Broken Wing with Double Guardian..

Broken wing is r1c6,r1c9, r4c9,r4c5,r3c5 and guardians r1c4, r9c5 eliminates (4)r3c5 and r9c3

I have yet to come across a puzzle where a Broken Wing did something different to a fish/turbot - though reading some old posts on the Players Forum it seems they do exist!

Peter: Have you ever considered a "grouped" turbot fish? In this case, it also works as Coloring.

Code:
 a:bb:c:d:e  =>  guardian r9c5=7 true

 a+c+e = Blue (conflict)
 bb+d  = Green

Danny, I do use grouping when looking at x-chains/turbots - but I haven't thought of looking for odd-length x-chains with groups. But can see it now - thanks.

What are your thoughts on Broken Wings/Guardians? Do they have utility beyond straight turbot/fish moves?

My first introduction to "guardian cells" was in the Players' Forums in the thread on Broken Wings. There, the discussion seemed dedicated to single-digit turbot fish patterns. Considerably later, I stuck my nose into the Eureka! forum and they were talking about guardian-this and guardian-that in a completely different context. I never applied myself to decipher their use of the term.

I don't believe that I've ever used "guardian cells" in a context outside of a Broken Wing.

Regards, Danny
