As an exercise relating to recent discussions in another thread, I tried to turn 200e200w's krakens into AIC-like nets. No, I'm not suggesting they're an improvement in any way

Let's see...

(3)r7c4 = (3-8)r7c5 = [Finned X-Wing 8 r78/c18 fr8c2]: [(8) r78c1|r8c2] - [r34c1,r58c8] = [(6,5)r34c1 | [(5,6)r58c8-(5)r5c2=r4c12]] - (5=6,1,3)r412c5
=> (3r7c4 | 3r2c5) => -3 r2c4
Yes, I also think it's ugly as hell

The other one:
- Code: Select all
Kraken Finned Franken X-Wing.
Finned Franken X-Wing: 9 r69/c4b7 fr6c6,r9c9
(9-6)r6c6 = r6c79 - (6=5)r5c8 - r5c2
(9-4)r9c1 = (4-5)r2c1 = r4c1 - r5c2
(9)r9c2 - r789c1 = (9-5)r2c1 = r4c1 - r5c2
(9)r9c3 - r5c3 = (9-5)r5c2
(9)r9c9 - (9=5)r2c9 - r2c1 = r4c1 - r5c2
=> -5 r5c2
My version (I used the same chain for the c2 and c3 branches to keep things a bit simpler):

(5=6)r5c8 - r6c79 = (6-9)r6c6 = [Finned Franken X-Wing 9 r69/c4b7 fr9c9]: [(9) r9c1|r9c23|r9c9] - [(4)r9c1,(9)r789c1,r2c9] = [(4|9)r2c1 | (5)r2c9] - (5)r2c1 = (5) r4c1
=> -5 r5c2
Yes, it's ugly too, but is that actually a valid AIC (split-nodes only)? Then again, I think it's much simpler if we forget the fishy stuff and just use the row:
(5=6)r5c8 - r6c79 = (6-9)r6c6 = r6c4 - r9c4 = [r9c1|r9c23|r9c9] - [(4)r9c1,(9)r789c1,r2c9] = [(4|9)r2c1 | (5)r2c9] - (5)r2c1 = (5)r4c1
That's not so bad, is it?
