Welcome on this forum, 200e200w !

I understand your path, no trouble with your logic. I am a bit surprised by your presentation, notably by your use of brackets "[...]" and the way you address the strong link 1r2c5=3r2c5=7r2c5.

My concerns are:
(5)r2c1 [ - (5=1)r2c3 - r2c5 ] - r8c1 = r8c5 - (5=6)r5c5 - (6=7)r4c5 - (7=3)r2c5

where a strong link (7=3)r2c5 is written without any reference to the third candidate of the trivalue cell r2c5,
and the bracket [ - (5=1)r2c3 - r2c5 ] starting with a weak link symbol, and ending on a weak link.
That must be read as the following net:

Code: Select all
          (5=1)r2c3          -             r2c5
(5)r2c1 /                                       \\
||      \ r8c1 = r8c5 - (5=6)r5c5 - (6=7)r4c5 - (7=3)r2c5
(7)r2c1 - (7=48)r3c12 - (4)r3c5 = (4-3)r1c5 = r2c5


An equivalent logic:
(1)r2c5 - (1=5)r2c3 - (5=7)r2c1 - (7=48)r3c12 - (4)r3c5 = (4-3)r1c5 = r2c5
(3)r2c5
(7)r2c5 - (7=6)r4c5 - (6=5)r5c5 - r8c5 = r8c1 - (5=7)r2c1 - (7=48)r3c12 - (4)r3c5 = (4-3)r1c5 = r2c5
=>r2c5=3

I would write this either as above, with a drawback of repeting the subchain (5=7)r2c1 - (7=48)r3c12 - (4)r3c5 = (4-3)r1c5 = r2c5,
or in line as follows (12 nodes as in your own writing):
(3)r2c5 = [(5=1)r2c3 - (1*=7)r2c5 - (7=6)r4c5 - (6=5)r5c5 - r8c5 = (5)r8c1] - (5=7)r2c1 - (7=48)r3c12 - (4)r3c5 = (4-3)r1c5 = r2c5

where the AIC embedded into the "[...]" is linked on one side by a strong link to the node (1*=7)r2c5 tagged with a "*", and on the other side by a weak link common to both ends of the embedded chain.
This is the standard use of the "[...]" in Eureka that I have in mind. I may be wrong. Anyone to confirm ?

As already told many times, the important is substance, not notation. Please consider this comment as friendly and go on posting your solutions.

Hi Cenoman,

Thanks for this comment. I'll change the notation of Forcing Nets in later puzzles to something like what have you wrote:
Code: Select all
          (5=1)r2c3          -             r2c5
(5)r2c1 /                                       \\
||      \ r8c1 = r8c5 - (5=6)r5c5 - (6=7)r4c5 - (7=3)r2c5
(7)r2c1 - (7=48)r3c12 - (4)r3c5 = (4-3)r1c5 = r2c5
