DP 36 r78c48
[(9)r5c4 = (8)r4c9] or [(9)r5c4 = (8)r3c9]

Question...can I combine them to write...
(8)r34c9 = (9)r5c4 - r1c4 = (9-8)r1c5 = r1c7 => r36c7 <> 8

You could only eliminate 8 from cells that could see all 3 cells r1c7, r34c9 and there aren't any !

The only elimination I can see arising from your DP is (8) r8c8 = DP = 2 r78c4 - (2=567) r8c235 => - 6 r8c8

(9)r5c4 will be the same as (2)r78c4...
another one...(6)r1c4 is the same as (2)r78c4

(8)r3c9 or (8)r4c9 will be the same as (8)r8c8

No. Your chain is incomplete, and your conclusion is wrong because only cells that see all three of the endpoint candidate cells -- r3c9, r4c9, and r1c7 -- can have the candidate eliminated. In this grid, that's only cells r1c9 and r2c9.

Code: Select all
(8)r34c9 = r8c9 - (8)r8c8 =UR= (2)r78c4 - (2=9)r5c4 - r1c4 = (9-8)r1c5 = (8)r1c7  =>  no eliminations

Your ALS term looks wrong to me, the 4 cells don't all occur in a single house.

If you modify your chain a bit you can get (6=7) r1c3 - (7=8) r1c7 - (8=6) r6c7 - (6=5) r9c7 - (5=16) r9c56 - (6) r78c4 = (6) r1c4 loop => -6 r18c5, -8 r3c7

Thanks. I was wondering if it was a rule for ALS's that all cells must be in the same house. I probably wouldn't have been able to come up with that loop. That's why I said it was easier to execute than notate. :D
