Could somebody suggest a good software which can deal with 6x6 puzzles reliably? Ruud? JC?

JC's program can solve rokudoku. But he has (with good reasons) not implemented chainy steps.

To take it go to new grid, gridsize 6, gridkind other, ok. And then use Design -> New Jigsaw Block or Nonet to define the 3x2 boxes.

FYI In JSudoku, you don't need to desing jigsaw blocks by hand for rectangular blocks. If you choose a Sudoku grid kind, JSudoku will create them itself. For a grid size of 6, it will create all 6 rectangular 3x2 blocks.(wider then higher). If you want 2x3, you can then choose Design -> Transpose.
It works for other sizes also. eg 10 = 2x5, 12 = 3x4... Not for sizes with are prime numbers of course !

It has 7.1 by using SE.
And it also has a X-wing.
There are still some number can be deleted.
The "1" and "2" at R1,
The "5" and "1" at R2,
The "5" at R5,
but I don't try what is this puzzle's minimum grid yet.
