A non-chain solution is Finned X-Wing on 7 in r48 which opens up an XY-Wing on 36-8, pivot r3c7, with transport
(8=6)r3c3 - (6=3)r3c7 - (3=8)r6c7 - (8)r6c5 = (8)r4c5 => r4c3<>8

Marty, when you add with transport to an XY-Wing, you turn it into a chain. In this case:
- Code: Select all
(8=6)r3c3 - (6=3)r3c7 - (3=8)r6c7 - (8)r6c5 = (8)r4c5 => r4c3<>8
Marty R. wrote:I called it non-chain because it started off as a pattern-based move, even though the XY-Wing by itself is a three-cell XY-Chain. Is there a standard definition of a chain? I would tend to call M- and W-Wings pattern-based, with or without transport, because of the way I originally noticed the move, even though both are chains.
