I was expecting the usual puzzle - do it over a couple of cups of coffee with no pencil marks, and no advanced moves. (I did not use the UR.) | Code: | Puzzle: FP070308

Unless I made a lucky mistake, a single x-wing does it.

What I found interesting is that the x-wing on <6> in r25c58 can be viewed as part of a swordfish in r258c589 that has a single deletion in r7c9 which also solves the puzzle.

Here is what I had after basics. The x-wing on <6> was in r25c58, and the additional cells for the swordfish are in r8c59, which provides the deletion in r7c9.
Do we have different conditions after basics?
