Sometimes to solve a puzzle you can skip some methods and catch a candidate elimination in a next method.
You can uncheck and skip pointing/claiming and check generalized intersections method. It will find all pointing/claiming, because it is a subset of 2 houses of gen-intersection (2 or more houses).
All string-kite/skyscraper/turbotcrane/x-chain[4]) methods are X-chains of length 4. Uncheck this method and check x-chain: It will find all.
Also an X-wing (fish) is a small/special skyscraper.
