This is an interesting pattern. Either a=8 or one of b is 6.
Can't find a simple AIC for it.

Here it solves the pair 68 in r8 - and the puzzle.

No, the pattern does not need Cenoman's deduction, that there is a turbot fish, if 8 is not in r4c5.
Without the 8 in r4c5, there always must be a 6 in r34c9, turbot fish or not.

You could write it e.g. this way:
6r34c9=3r4c9&[9r3c9-r1c6=r4c6]-(3|9=8)r4c5
But this is not a simple AIC ...
(The way i saw it is, that 3r4c5 implies 69r34c9, and 9r4c5 implies 6r3c9 - that is simple)

eleven,
1. WYSIWYG ;)
2. Forbidding Matrix is a universal notation contrary to the Eureka notation ! You can read the above FM from any row !
3. I posted an "AIC" from the AIC point of view, not from a Kraken point of view.

Your very simple WYSIWIG :
3r4c5-(3=9=6)r34c9-(6=8)r8c9-8r8c5
||
8r4c5-8r8c5
||
9r4c5-(9=6)r4c7-6r1c7=6r3c9-(6=8)r8c9-8r8c5
can be written as
8r4c5=*[6r3c9=6r1c7-(6=9)r4c7-(9=*3)r4c5-(3=9=6)r34c9]-(6=8)r8c9 -> 8r4c5==8r8c9 => -8r8c5
which is an AIC containing an AAIC and simpler to read than yours.

Best regards, JC

From my point of view the matrix notation is a logical presentation to prove a move, but not to find one or to easily follow one.
It may be different, if you look at one everyday, but i don't think of writing that down manually.

Yes, you need to write a kraken for this simple move. Or (better for me) you say, it is a pattern (as easy to find as an xyz-wing).

[Added:]
This is, how i will write it:

I am a poor sudoku "patterner", but I can't agree with:
Pattern 369r1c7,r3c9,r4c579: 6r34c9 + 8r4c5

because there is a most common sub-pattern inside: (369)r4c579 + 8r4c5, almost naked triple, usually named ALS. The NT eliminates 6r4c8 wich solves the puzzle (lclste).

Using my beginner's pattern, here is a "simple" AIC: (8=6)r4c579 - r4c8 = r79c8 - (6=8)r8c9 => -8 r8c5; stte
or focusing on the 6's : (6=8)r8c5 - (8=6)r4c579 - r4c8 = (6)r79c8 => -6 r8c9; stte

Sorry for my simplistic and spurious intervention in a debate between matrices and exotic patterns...

No doubt, that the pattern is not needed here.

But when you say, you don't agree with using it for a solution, because it contains an almost naked triple as subpattern, this is weird.

In fact the pattern consists of a combination of a triple and a pair, see above (that's why it is easy to spot).
And it provides a strong link for 6 in column 9, just like e.g. a UR type 4 does, which i suppose you do use. So what ?

A pattern is a pattern is a pattern ...
