UR(25)r68c23 using internals
(13)r6c123 => -13 b4p346, r6c59, -1 r4c2, -3r6c5; ste
(note -13r5c1 is enough to solve with ste finish)

This pattern is usually known as UR type 3.

The UR pattern solves the puzzle in one step. Good luck to find a one-stepper, without uniqueness techniques !
Thank you Leren for this instructive example.
