2 Chain Logic Rules

I apologize Ron, My Bad. I now clearly see that the conjugate linkage is redundant. So your way is better. I will say that this is the most powerful singly-linked ALS-XZ I have ever seen. Because ...

Thanks for your reply Ron. I still think that 1 move is better than 2 but I respect your opinion. In a sense, the conjugate linked ALS's are quasi or psuedo ALS-XZ's since the 2 ALS's have the same ...

Good moves Ron. I could argue that 1 move is better than 2, but that is a matter of opinion. Actually the ALS-XZ I was originally looking at was (1459)r2c578 and (249)r8c38, rcd=9.

Hi DAJ aqnd Asellus.
Asellus, the relationship between the two eliminations is that they are both dependent on the fact that r7c2 inclusive-or r6c9 = 9. If this were not true, neither elimination ca ...

The cells in a 23 S-Wing are labeled *. The extension is labeled #.
The pivot at r8c3 results in either r3c1=2 or r5c1 =3 and r1c1=4. This => that r3c1<>34.

The extended M-Ring in the example has forcing path cells denoted by *. These paths are: (2)r3c7-r9c7=(2)r9c5 and (8)r3c7-r13c9=(8)r7c9-r9c78=(8)r9c5. This proves that r3c7=r9c5 = 28 => r3c7<& ...
