				| Puzzle 6150734, rated 21. 
 A strange-looking grid. The only move I've made was a W-Wing on 26 which took the 2 out of r4c1.
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +-------------+---------+---------+
 | 3   24  248 | 9 6 28  | 5 7  1  |
 | 5   279 289 | 3 1 278 | 6 4  28 |
 | 267 1   268 | 4 5 278 | 3 9  28 |
 +-------------+---------+---------+
 | 68  268 7   | 5 4 1   | 9 26 3  |
 | 1   3   26  | 8 7 9   | 4 26 5  |
 | 49  5   49  | 6 2 3   | 1 8  7  |
 +-------------+---------+---------+
 | 89  89  5   | 2 3 4   | 7 1  6  |
 | 47  47  3   | 1 8 6   | 2 5  9  |

 UR on {2,8} r23c39
 strong link on the 6 in r2c3 and the 9 in r3c3
 (2=6)r5c3 - UR28[(6)r3c3 = (9)r2c3] - (9)r2c2 = (9-8)r7c2 = (8)r4c2; r4c2 <>2
 
 leaves xy-wing (247) removes 7 from r8c1 and r2c2

				| A discontinuous nice loop was used to set r8c1=4 	  | Code: |  	  | *-----------------------------------------------------------* | 3     248   248   | 9     6     28    | 5     7     1     |
 | 5     2789  289   | 3     1     278   | 6     4     28    |
 | 2678  1     268   | 4     5     278   | 3     9     28    |
 |-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
 | 268   268   7     | 5     4     1     | 9     26    3     |
 | 1     3     26    | 8     7     9     | 4     26    5     |

 *-----------------------------------------------------------*
 (4)r8c1=(4-7)r8c2=(7-9)r2c2=(9)r2c3-(9)r6c3=(9-4)r6c1=(4)r8c1 => r8c1=4

 Norm, I think you pointed out a similar strong link situation on a UR in another thread. Would you be kind enough to step me through the logic from the point where strong links are discovered on the non-deadly candidates to the point where an elimination can be done therefrom?

 First, we need to clear up the typo in Norm's quote. He has it correct in his chain.

 Thanks Danny, I understood that there were typos with the positions of the 6 and 9 reversed.
