				I'm only going to post one pattern for each thread in this forum. Should I get to the point of creating a thread in the Solving Techniques forum, then I'll move each head post from the threads here into messages in a single thread there.

Puzzle from Mike Barker's "zoo" collection:
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  ..3.4.8.74...21.3..1.....4..381.........7...8.4...5..29..........73........65.4..

 +--------------------------------------------------------------+
 
 # 57 eliminations remain
 
 
 r79c68  <78> UR via s-link              <> 8    r7c8
 
 | 	  
 
 
I'm adding this pattern to this thread because of its similarity to the 2x variant above ... and because of ronk's comment. When an X-Wing exists in the UR cells, then there's no "essential difference" from applying the first pattern 2x times, or the following pattern once.

 	  | Code: | 	 		  Bivalues in [c1] and one SL in [c3]   (aka UR Type 4)

|  .   .   .   |
 
| 12   .  1X-2 |
 
|  .   .   .   |

|  .   .   .   |
 
+--------------+
 
           ^       SL on <1>
 
 | 	  
 
Since examples of UR Type 4 abound, I'm not going to include an example puzzle.

A Type 4 would have a single SL on <1> in column 3. |

				Ron,
 
 
I've updated the head post and hope that I've addressed your point/concerns. My intent was to show that 2x applications of a particular pattern would lead to eliminations equivalent to a known UR Type. |

But that's quite different than "aka". |
