Keith, I did basics twice; both completed the puzzle. Either I made the same mistake twice or ???

You didn't make any mistake, I also came with the same.

Read the hint in my original post. The hardest move is a hidden pair in B3.

My sequence for basics must have resolved the hidden pair because I didn't see any such animal.

I don't recall one way or the other about the pair, but every time I see comments about specific basic moves I think that things can be different for other players because they might populate the grid in a different way.

Hidden pair 14 in B3
Triple 259 in B3
Quad 2589 in C7

Choose your poison.

Since I do these without pencil marks, the hidden pair is easiest for me to spot. Note the solved cells 14 in R2 and C9 pointing at B3. They leave only two unsolved cells in B3.
