				| The pivot at r6c8 denies a 2 to r1c3 either via r1c8 or the pair of 29 at r56c3 so it is a kind of xy wing according to its mechanics but not apure XY I wonder what it is called a compound XY wing?

				| Like the XY-Wing, this is an ALS-XZ Rule. |  |

 George, could you enlighten me? I don't see the 29 pair or anything in r1c7?

 JC, what is your X and Z value and what cells are being used?

				| Sorry I got it wrong I meant r1c8 not r1c7 for one wing that becomes 2 if r6c8 is 8 whilst if r6c8 is 7 then r6c3 becomes 29  so that is equivalen to a wing being 2 since it denies a 2 o r1c3 |  |

 Note : X=7, Z=2 in the ALS (278)r16c8 and (279)r56c3

 George, it looks to me like a Forcing Chain with each number in a bivalue cell  (r6c8) producing the same outcome.

 Nice, JC. I've used the ALS-XZ rule about a half-dozen times, but can no longer find them.
