				Just polish this one off quickly before a G&T ... I thought! I played many more moves than this and probably still some extraneous ones..

				Hmmm! Normally, when my solver finds concurrent results for a technique, one or more of the occurrences turn out to be extraneous. After seeing the posted solutions, I checked the puzzle and found only two extraneous step among those listed by my solver. In addition, the Kite for <9> is important but obscure to locate.
