(1=2)r169c8 - (2=4)r9c3 - (4=1)r5c3 => -1 r5c8; stte
close to Leren's, so
(6=2)6r9c8 - (2=1)r59c3 - r5c8 = r1c8; -6 r1c8; stte

ALS-xy (14=2)r59c3 - (2=691)r169c8 =>-1 r5c8; stte
or XY chain (1=4)r5c3 - (4=2)r9c3 - (2=9)r9c8 - (9=6)r6c8 - (6=1)r1c8 =>-1 r5c8

For historical reasons, when only two ALS's are involved in an ALS chain, the move is referred to as an ALS=XZ Rule.

So here I would write ALS XZ Rule: X = 2, Z = 1: (1=2) r59c3 - (2=1) r169c8 => - 1 r5c8

Also some pedants argue that if all the cells in both ALS's are bi-value cells then the move is also an XY chain and should be written that way, so your second formulation is the more "correct" one (for pedants :D ).

If there are 3 ALS's in an ALS chain, then it's called and ALS XY Wing. Any more than 3 then I would just call it an ALS chain and be done with it, with the caveat that at least one cell must contain more than 2 candidates.

I take note of these way to refer to ALS chains, and will avoid to misuse ALS XY (that I wrongfully took as synonymous of ALS chain).

I apologize if my writing the XY chain variant looked pedantic. I make no claims to give anyone lessons.

Best regards, Cenoman.

Cenoman wote : I apologize if my writing the XY chain variant looked pedantic.

You have no need to apologize for anything. What I was saying that was in the past other people (the pedantic ones) said that if an ALS chain consisted entirely of bi-value cells, it should always be written as an XY chain as opposed to an ALS chain.

It's quite common for grand passions to be excited by style (naming conventions and notation) as opposed to substance (whether or not an elimination has been proved or not).
