For myself, it was as easy as saying, "Bartender, make it a double."
A double XY-wing, that is.
Look at Paolo's first post after basics. (scroll up)
There is a -489 XY-wing r58c67 pivoted @ r8c7.
This results in an elimination of r5c6<>4 (=2)!
And a good rinsing takes you almost half way through, which
brings us here:


Code:

+---------------+---------+-------------+
| 9    6   1    | 8  3  7 | 5    4   2  |
| 25   25  3    | 6  4  9 | 1    7   8  |
| 8    4   7    | 1  2  5 | 6    9   3  |
+---------------+---------+-------------+
| 24   1   6    | 9  5  8 | 24   3   7  |
| 345  9   458  | 34 7  2 | 48   6   1  |
| 7    238 248  | 34 1  6 | 2489 58  59 |
+---------------+---------+-------------+
| 6    7   89   | 5  89 1 | 3    2   4  |
| 1235 235 25   | 7  89 4 | 89   15  6  |
| 145  58  4589 | 2  6  3 | 7    158 59 |
+---------------+---------+-------------+

The second XY-wing is then the 58-9 r7c3 & r9c29 pivoted @ r9c2.
This results in an elimination of r9c3<>9...and solves the puzzle, as it did for Gianni, when he arrived here, as well.


cheers...imp

I LOVE multi-step VHs...!
