My purpose with this puzzle (cbg-000 #11046) was to show a deadly pattern of size 8, reducing the max-length 4th of necessary chains from 5 with only whips are used to 3 when it is added with ORk-chains.
whip[2]: r2n5{c2 c1} - r2n4{c1 .} ==> r2c2≠9, r2c2≠8
whip[2]: r2n5{c1 c2} - r2n4{c2 .} ==> r2c1≠7
singles ==> r6c1=7, r4c1=2, r3c6=2
whip[1]: r4n1{c5 .} ==> r6c4≠1, r6c5≠1
whip[1]: r4n3{c6 .} ==> r5c4≠3
naked-single ==> r5c4=9
