Almost xy-wing 26-7: vertex(26)r3c2, pincer (27)r2c1, pincer (67)r9c2, fin (2)r9c2
 
If xy-wing is true: r9c1<>7
 
If fin is true: (2)r9c2-(2=6)r3c2-r2c3=(6-3)r8c3=(3-4)r8c1=(4)r9c1; r9c1<>7
 
xy-wing 26-7; r9c6<>7 |

				X-Wing (2)
 
ER (7)
 
XYZ-Wing (257)
 
And finished with a move that I tried to get a name for in the thread I started in the other sub-forum. A potential 23 DP in boxes 47 generated a pincer situation; r9c1<>4. |
