Hi Robert,
I understand your move 2 in the following way:
- Code: Select all
.---------------------------------------------------------------.
| 4 8 9 |c*167 b(1)67 c*67 | 35 25 23 |
| 7 3 5 | 2 48 9 | 1468 148 1468 |
| 6 1 2 | 3 48 5 | 48 79 79 |
|-------------------+---------------------+---------------------|
| 18 5 4 | 678 23 23 | 9 178 1678 |
|i189 6 7 | 458 j59 f48 | 2 3 h148 |
| 89 2 3 | 4678 679 1 | 4568 4578 4678 |
|-------------------+---------------------+---------------------|
| 2 7 6 | 9 a13 e348 |f'1348 f'148 5 |
| 3 9 8 | l145 k25 24 | 7 6 g'124 |
| 5 4 1 |d*67(8) 2367 *67 | 38 289 2389 |
'---------------------------------------------------------------'
- Code: Select all
(4)r7c78 = (4)r8c9
UR / \
(3^-1)r7c5 = (1)r1c5 - (1=67)r1c46 - (6|7 = 8)r9c4 - (3^8 = 4)r7c6 ------ (4=8^^)r5c6-- continues next line
----(4|8=1)r5c9 - (18^^ = 9)r5c1 - (9=5)r5c5 - (5)r8c5 = (5)r8c4
where ^, ^^ denote memory terms. I do not know the meaning of "(-1 r1c5)" at the start, but it seems that you considered the consequences of r7c5 = 3 and arrived at the conclusion that r8c4=5. As r7c5 is a BVC, you proved that either (1)r7c5 or (5)r8c4, i.e., -1 r8c4.
Why the dots at the end ?
Interesting that at first I could not follow your move from the placement of 9 at r5c1 because I had some placements after move 1 (see edit for the reason).
Regards,
Edit: The reason for the difference ("singles" after move 1) is that in move 1, using the UR, we can eliminate also 2 from r8c5.
Then r5c1 is left with only 18. You did not perform this additional elimination:
- Code: Select all
.------------------------------------------------------------.
| 4 8 9 | 167 *(1)67 *67 | 35 25 23 |
| 7 3 5 | 2 48 9 | 1468 148 1468 |
| 6 1 2 | 3 48 5 | 48 79 79 |
|-------------------+--------------------+-------------------|
| 18 5 4 | 678 (23) 23 | 9 178 1678 |
| 189 6 7 | 458 59 48 | 2 3 148 |
| 89 2 3 | 4678 679 1 | 4568 4578 4678 |
|-------------------+--------------------+-------------------|
| 2 7 6 | 9 (13) 348 | 1348 148 5 |
| 3 9 8 | 145 5-12 24 | 7 6 124 |
| 5 4 1 | 678 *(23)67 *67 | 38 289 2389 |
'------------------------------------------------------------'
UR (67)r19c56 using internals => -2 r7c5 [only chains for this elimination shown]
(1)r1c5 - (1=32)r79c5
(2)r9c5
(3)r9c5 - (3=2)r4c5
=> -2 r9c5
Using both eliminations (in the same move 1), the second UR(67)r19c46 can be used as follows
- Code: Select all
.-----------------------------------------------.
| 4 8 9 |a167 167 67 | 35 25 23 |
| 7 3 5 | 2 48 9 | 1468 148 1468 |

|e18 6 7 | 5 9 d48 | 2 3 e148 |

(1=3)r7c5 - r4c5 = (3-2)r4c6 = (2)r8c6 - (2*)r8c9 = [(1)r1c4 =UR= (8)r9c4 - (8)r7c6 = (8)r5c6 - (8=14)r5c19 - (4*=*1)r8c9 ]
=> -1 r8c4
Edit 2: improved the text for clarity.
