XYZ-Wing (138); r9c1<>3
Hidden UR (13); r9c2<>3
Type 3 UR (89) needs a 1 or 3. The 1 proves a 3; pincers set r2c8<>3

Marty, I originally had more moves that you did, but my final move turns out to be present in the grid above, and is a one-stepper.

Take a look at the 13 UR in R79C28. To avoid the DP, R8C1 must be <9>.

I'll leave it to ronk, Danny, and peterj to classify this one, if they so wish.

I'm not exactly sure of the logic Keith employed for his elimination:

Code:
 (8)r9c2                              - (8=9)r8c1
 (8)r9c8 - r3c8 = r3c13 - r1c2 = r9c2 - (8=9)r8c1
 (9)r9c8 - (9=8)r8c8                  - (8=9)r8c1

You just need to ignore that r9c8=8 and r9c2=8 occur in the second stream. Fortunately, chains are like that!


My solver found numerous eliminations associated with the <13> UR. However, I played around with the UR and manually derived a ...

1-SIS ALS single-stepper:

Code:
(8)r9c2 =UR= (89)r98c8  =>  r9c9<>8

I did take a look and don't have a clue why. Standard internal analysis doesn't do it for me.

I saw there is an 89 pseudocell in the UR, and tried to make some sense of it.

R8C1 <8> forces the deadly pattern.

That would put you 100% on board with my wife and the rest of my family!

(Of course, they are not talking Sudoku.)
