Marty, I believe that your first step is a one-stepper when viewed differently.........

(5=9)r4c3-(9=1)r5c3-(1=26)r45c6-(6=4)r7c6-(4=8)r7c7-aur(49)r56c47[(8)r5c7=(5)r6c4]; r6c3<>5

My solver's solution reduces to two steps:

Code:
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+
 |  4     9     3     |  2    *18    5     |  6     7    *18    |
 |  67    67    2     |  89   *18+49 14    |  3     5    *18    |
 |  5     1     8     |  6     7     3     |  2     9     4     |
 |--------------------+--------------------+--------------------|
 |  68    246   59    |  7     59    26    |  1     468   3     |
 |  678   2467  19    |  49    3     126   |  489   468   5     |
 |  3     46    159   |  459   16    8     |  49    2     7     |
 |--------------------+--------------------+--------------------|
 |  2     5     7     |  3     468   46    |  48    1     9     |
 |  1     3     6     |  58    458   9     |  7     48    2     |
 |  9     8     4     |  1     2     7     |  5     3     6     |
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+
 # 46 eliminations remain

 r12c59  <18> UR Type 1.2224             <> 18   r2c5

XY-Chain: (1=4)r2c6 - (4=9)r2c5 - (9=5)r4c5 - (5=9)r4c3 - (9=1)r5c3  =>  r5c6<>1

Which can be treated as a single-stepper:
Code:

(1=4)r2c6 - (4=UR=9)r2c5 - (9=5)r4c5 - (5=9)r4c3 - (9=1)r5c3  =>  r5c6<>1

This is a perspective on a UR Type 1 that I hadn't considered previously.

Ted, I am more than capable of turning a one-stepper into a four-stepper; I've done it many times. However, I don't understand Eureka so I don't know what your one-stepper is.

Danny, that is very cool Cool. It is something I definitely have not thought about before although I once used a Type 2 pattern to link.
