Another one that was a lot of fun! I used my favorite method again to solve it.
| Code: |
+-------+-------+-------+

Grid after basics.
| Code: |
+-------------+-------------+----------------+
| 123 23 12 | 4 67 67 | 9 5 8 |
| 9 4 6 | 1 5 8 | 7 2 3 |
| 8 5 7 | 2 3 9 | 46 1 46 |
+-------------+-------------+----------------+
| 6 279 249 | 3 278 1 | 5 4789 479 |
| 24 1 8 | 5 9 27 | 3 6 47 |
| 5 79 3 | 68 678 4 | 1 789 2 |
+-------------+-------------+----------------+
| 123 6 129 | 7 4 5 | 8 39 19 |
| 7 8 49 | 69 1 236 | 246 349 5 |
| 134 39 5 | 689 268 236 | 246 3479 14679 |
+-------------+-------------+----------------+

(9=4)r8c3-(4=39)r78c8-9r6c8=r6c2=>r9c2<>9! |

Kudos to you dongrave for your chain/loop savvy. I don't even pretend to get a grip on those things...lol. Different strokes for different folks, as they say. Much preferred the W-Wing approach as per Gianni.
cheers...immp |

Ha! Thanks immpy! I know what you mean! You know what? I heard that Keith doesn't use pencil marks! I've thought about asking a doctor to visit him sometime!  |

I try not to use pencil marks. But I do use them on occasion, especially for VH and Advanced puzzles. It's a way to make easier puzzles a little more challenging.
I start by putting in PMs only for cells that have two candidates. That will find XY-wings, etc.
Since I developed the idea of patterns of cells where useful strong links can lie, I have become quite good at finding skyscrapers and kites with no PMs.
