Indeed yes, I have conquered chains and loops...FINALLY! I followed the precise path of Gianni on this one; that XY-Chain is the key, it seems, to solving this one. The UR is a Type 6, which results in two eliminations AND two placements (5). And the BUG+1 is a nice ending technique.
This puzzle will always remain special for me in that I was able to implement a chain as a means of solving for the first time ever.
Hope all who tried it enjoyed the puzzle.

cheers...immp
