Hmm. Can you elaborate? I don't see a BUG-Lite there. Why not use the simple UR anyway?

Hi SpAce,
You are right. There is no BUG-lite in cells r123c268, just the UR you mention. What was I thinking ???

Thanks for confirming that. I guess both of us suffered from blindness today, as I didn't see the UR (or its potential) until I saw your post. As usual, I did a quick scan for DP possibilities first but totally missed this one. Too bad, because it's pretty nice -- but if it's ok for you, we can share credit for it!

Thanks for the complements!!!

Please note that the same move may also be achieved in Andrew's Solver by unticking Simple Colouring, X-Cycles, XY-Chain, 3D Medusa and Hidden Unique Rect's moves.

Another moves that may also eliminate 9 from r3c4 are "Aligned Pair Exclusion" with r13c4, or "Almost Locked Sets" and "Death Blossom" with same WXYZ-Wing cells; stte.
