In all my diagrams small digit in green means that
number is set in the cell. Small digit in red (or rather pink)
means that number is not present to the cell. Green
arrows lead to small green numbers. Red arrows lead to
small red numbers. (removed from the cell)
Code: Select all
 39   78   5    | 1379 6    4    | 138  1389 2   
 39   6    28   | 1239 35   1359 | 138  7    4   
 1    47   24   | 2379 8    379  | 5    39   6

 58   158  18   | 6    9    2    | 7    4    3   
 6    2    7    | 134  34   13   | 9    58   58 
 4    9    3    | 5    7    8    | 6    2    1

 258  458  9    | 34   1    6    | 238  358  7   
 258  3    148  | 479  45   579  | 128  6    589
 7    15   6    | 8    2    359  | 4    135  59 

Press the link to see the diagram
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/9Bz8/nUTSkHZPG
Let's assume that r9c6=3. Then
r7c4=4, r8c5=5, r2c5=3 => r3c4<>3, r3c6<>3
From r7c4=4 => r8c4 <> 4
From r8c5=5 => r8c6<> 5
In row 8 it only remains one cell for 4, r8c3=4
If r8c3=4 then r3c3=2, => r3c4<>2.
Now please see the diagram. The yellow cells
contain only digits 7 and 9. We got the
Deadly pattern and have two solutions.
So the assumption is wrong and r9c6<>3.
Thus only hidden singles remain.

Let's assume r3c3=2. Then r2c3=8 and
r2c7<>8.
r4c3=1 then r8c3<>1, r8c7=1 and r2c7<>1
So it follows that r2c7=3. r2c5=5, r8c5=4,
r8c3<>4 and finally r3c3 = 4, that is, <> 2 as
it was assumed. So r3c3 <> 2 and this reduces
the sudoku to hidden singles.

Nice, but hard to follow.

The reason is, that you have to remember, what candidates have been set/eliminated in the past.
Of course you can copy the grid into a solver and set r9c6 to 3, and follow the steps, until the UR is left. But this is very near to say: "set cell x to a, and press the solve button, until it says contradiction, so you can eliminate x".
You have seen, that we try to write the move in one AIC line, where the next link is completeley independent from the links before. So you can follow the move going through the links without remembering the past ones.
If remembering alinkis needed (or an intermediate result is needed for the deduction), these links are extra marked, e.g. by a star, color or underline.
If it is not possible to do it in a line (3- or 4-way deductions), several lines are used like in the Kraken presentation, but each line with independent links. So you can follow it easily line by line.

This is a presentation of your move, which is (hopefully) accepted here.

 7    15   6    |  8     2    35*9 | 4    135  59

UR 79r38c46:
(Note that 9r9c6 is an "external" UR candidate, if it is missing, there is a hidden pair 79 in that box. For box 2 the "internal" extra candidates 23 are taken. So one of these candidates must be true, called a Strong Inference Set.)
SIS(9r9c6,3r3c6,23r3c4)
9r9c6 - 3r9c6
3r3c6 - 3r9c6
3r3c4 - (3=5)-(5=3)r8c5,r7c3 - 3r9c6
2r3c4 - (2=4)r3c3-r8c3=r8c45-(4=3)r7c4 - 3r9c6
=> r9c6<>3, stte


What you call "simulated" Sue de Coq (or whatever), is called "almost" Sue de Coq here (either r2c5<>5 or the Sue de Coq eliminations are true). btw i can't see your Sue deCoq.

Alex,

there is definitely no sense in flooding the forum with more or less complex network diagrams.
This one is from Sudoku Explainer, a program which is 11 years old now.
Do you have fun reading it and follwing the steps
"Let's assume r4c2=1 ... bla bla" ?

Nice one, Big C. I think the highlighted 4 is a typo.

Don't be discouraged, Alex. You're a good solver. You'll soon get the hang of the notation, and then it will be easy to present your solutions.

Yes, I had a lot of trouble with the Eureka notation.
Using mathematical symbols - and = to do something non-mathematical.
Now I think...
- is a weak link, just a prod with one little finger. So weak it can only switch something off.
= is a strong link, a hefty push with both arms. So strong it can switch something on.

Another trouble is that relatively easy things look that complicated.
