				| XYZ-Wing (138); r9c1<>3 Hidden UR (13); r9c2<>3
 Type 3 UR (89) needs a 1 or 3. The 1 proves a 3; pincers set r2c8<>3

				| After basics: Marty, I originally had more moves that you did, but my final move turns out to be present in the grid above, and is a one-stepper. 	  | Code: |  	  | +----------------+----------------+----------------+ | 3568 238  489  | 245  7    69   | 1    2358 38   |
 | 1356 123  19   | 25   8    69   | 7    235  4    |
 | 58   7    48   | 245  3    1    | 6    258  9    |
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+
 | 2    9    6    | 3    1    7    | 8    4    5    |
 | 7    5    3    | 8    2    4    | 9    6    1    |
 | 18   4    18   | 9    6    5    | 3    7    2    |
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+
 | 4    13   5    | 7    9    8    | 2    13   6    |
 | 89   6    2    | 1    4    3    | 5    89   7    |
 | 1389 138  7    | 6    5    2    | 4    1389 38   |
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+

 Take a look at the 13 UR in R79C28.  To avoid the DP, R8C1 must be <9>.
 
 I'll leave it to ronk, Danny, and peterj to classify this one, if they so wish.

				| I'm not exactly sure of the logic Keith employed for his elimination: 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | (8)r9c2                              - (8=9)r8c1 (8)r9c8 - r3c8 = r3c13 - r1c2 = r9c2 - (8=9)r8c1
 (9)r9c8 - (9=8)r8c8                  - (8=9)r8c1
 
 | 
 You just need to ignore that r9c8=8 and r9c2=8 occur in the second stream. Fortunately, chains are like that!
 
 
 My solver found numerous eliminations associated with the <13> UR. However, I played around with the UR and manually derived a ...
 
 1-SIS ALS single-stepper:
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | (8)r9c2 =UR= (89)r98c8  =>  r9c9<>8

 I did take a look and don't have a clue why. Standard internal analysis doesn't do it for me.

 I saw there is an 89 pseudocell in the UR, and tried to make some sense of it.
 
 R8C1 <8> forces the deadly pattern.

 That would put you 100% on board with my wife and the rest of my family!
 
 (Of course, they are not talking Sudoku.)
