I am sure simpler solutions abound, but this was different.........

Almost xy-chain

{(3=1)r5c1-r5c3=r7c3-(1=4)r7c5-(4=3)r9c4} = {(1-4)r9c4=r9c1-(4=3)r8c2-(3=8)r6c2-(8=1)r5c3-(1=3)r5c1}; r5c4.r9c1<>3

I have forgotten the name of another uncommon pattern but I believe that it is something like "Kraken column". Kraken column (3)r589c4 (3)r5c4-(3=1)r5c1; \|\| (3)r8c4-(34=1)r59c4; \|\| (3)r8c4-(3=1)r9c9; r9c1<>1 Ted

Kraken column (3)r589c4
(3)r5c4-(3=1)r5c1;
||
(3)r8c4-(34=1)r59c4;
||
(3)r8c4-(3=1)r9c9; r9c1<>1

Here is a wing I found that uses the same cells

Code:

*-----------------------------------------------------------*
| 8 5 7 | 146 14 46 | 3 9 2 |
| 46 46 3 | 9 2 5 | 1 8 7 |
| 9 1 2 | 8 3 7 | 5 6 4 |
|-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
| 5 9 4 | 7 6 138 | 2 13 138 |
|a13 2 18 |b34 5 348 | 9 7 6 |
| 7 38 6 | 2 9 138 | 4 135 1358 |
|-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
| 1346 3468 18 | 5 14 2 | 7 134 9 |
| 2 34 9 | 1346 7 346 | 8 1345 135 |
|d134 7 5 |c134 8 9 | 6 2 13 |
*-----------------------------------------------------------*
wing
(1=3)r5c1-(3=4)r5c4-r9c4=4r9c1 => -1r9c1; lclste

if r5c1 is not a 1 then r9c1 is a 4

I like the almost xy chain also. Very Happy
