Yes
rewrite as (6=1)r1c6 - (1=4)r156c9 - (4=5)r6c2 - r45c1 = (5-6)r1c1
then if (6)r1c6 => -6 r1c1
then either way you get -6 r1c1

5-Link Oddagon (5):r1c19,r3c2,r6c29
Guardians(g): r6c5,r35c9
Code: Select all
(5-2)r6c5 = 2r5c5 - (2=5)r5c9 - 5r1c9;
5r35c9                        - 5r1c9; stte

Or, try an equivalent Kraken 5s 1-Fish r6\c9 + rfr6c25
Hints:
rfr6c5 uses same chain as guardian r6c5.
rfr6c2 uses three conjugate links from the Oddagon.
r6c9 is the covered base cell.
r1c9 is the eventual elimination.

This is an interesting puzzle. Found double square like formation inter-related at Box456.
To avoid double solutions of 15r45c15 or 25r56c59, r4c1and r6c9 = 4 and 5-12 at r5c5
Code: Select all
Square like formation: must be avoid !
|15 . .|.15 .|      |.25 .|. .25|
|15 . .|.15 .|      |.25 .|. .25|
 

Code: Select all
A: Box 4,5,6
|145  3  2| 79  15 79|456 456  8|  r4
| 15  9  8| 46 125 46|  3  7  25|  r5
|  7 45  6|  3  25  8|  1  9 245|  r6
 
B: possible Square 15 at r45c15
|15+4 .  . | . 15   . | .  .  . |  r4

Hi Kozo,

from the combined UR patterns i can see, that one of r4c1 and r6c9 must be 4 (or - looking at the externals - one of r4c78 and r6c2 must be 5).
But r5c5 <> 12 is not a direct elimination, is it ?

btw it is also called a MUG, or a BUG-Lite
Code: Select all
abc .. | ab . . | ac . .
ab  .. | ab . . | . . .
ac  . .| .  . . | ac . .

Thank you "eleven" for your comment.

i recognized r5c5<>12 is not enough for stte.
Though, set r5c5<>12 because if each of 1 or 2 is selected, which forms 15 or 25 only respectively.

By the way, i, as a non-English-familiar person, am confused abbreviate terms like "oddagone" etc.
Though i try to study MUG and/or BUG and other curious named techniques.
Now i wonder why so many kind of FISHes are ? Evev though,
all are depend on one single-digit based method along with the same logic.

What i meant is, that from the overlapping UR's you can only say, that one of the extra candidates must be true (in a unqiue puzzle), not that the common cell cannot hold 12 (if both extra candidates are 4, both UR's already are destroyed).

Here is another sample, you might like.

    | 7     #128    4      |@18     5      189    | 6      3     #12+9   |
    | 58    #12+5   9      | 36     4      36     | 18     7     #12     |
    | 3     @18     6      |@18+9   2      7      | 5      48     49     |
    +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
    | 59     6      2      | 7      8      49     | 3      145    145    |
    | 1      45     7      | 26     3      26     | 49     459    8      |
    | 89     48     3      | 49     1      5      | 2      6      7      |
    +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
    | 6      7      8      | 1245   9      124    | 14     1245   3      |
    | 24     9      1      | 23458  6      2348   | 7      2458   45     |
    | 24     3      5      | 1248   7      1248   | 1489   12489  6      |
    +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+


btw an oddagon (don't know, who invented the name) is an impossible loop, usually formed by an odd number of strong links for one digit. With 5 strong links it is also called "broken wing".
Also a loop with an odd number of (the same) pairs is impossible.

Remark: i will be away for 3 weeks.
