Took an extended absense from Daily Sudoku. Recently have played the Very Hard puzzles and just wanted to post that I enjoy the site and appreciate the input on how others have solved puzzles.
Happy Holidays. |

That doesn't make any direct eliminations, but solves the puzzle with transport of the pincer from r9c1 to r8c6. Is that what you had in mind?
| Code: |
+--------+--------------+------------+
| 8 2 1 | 5 3 46 | 67 9 47 |
| 3 9 5 | 46 8 7 | 1 46 2 |
| 4 7 6 | 2 1 9 | 8 3 5 |
+--------+--------------+------------+
| 9 5 3 | 467 467 1 | 2 8 47 |
| 2 1 4 | 9 57 8 | 567 567 3 |
| 7 6 8 | 3 245 245 | 9 45 1 |
+--------+--------------+------------+
| 1 8 9 | 47 2457 245 | 3 57 6 |
| 56 3 7 | 1 9 56 | 4 2 8 |
| 56 4 2 | 8 567 3 | 57 1 9 |
+--------+--------------+------------+

No Marty that was not in my mind- I had just misread the puzzle! (very late- holiday cheer etc) But I wish I had seen that- it's a sharp solution!

Also the short XY-Chain does it well.
Either r9c7=5 or If r9c7=7,then r1c7=6, so r2c8=4, so r6c8=5; r7c8<>5. |
