				First pass of four steps...........
 
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  Type 1 UR (56)r12c59; r1c9<>56
 
 
AXY-wing 1-37 vertex(17)r4c8, pincers (13)r4c3 & (37)r6c9 with fin (7)r4c3
 
If xy-wing is true: r6c3<>3
 
If fin is true: (7)r4c3-r7c3=r7c9-(7=3)r6c9; r6c3<>3
 
 
(9=2)r9c1-(2=7)r7c3-r7c9=r5c9-(7=3)r5c5-(3=9)r5c2-r3c2=(9)r3c3; r9c3<>9
 
 
BUG+1 forces r9c3=2 | 	  
 
 
Or a one stepper.......

				Another m-wing+ ...
 
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  | m-wing(12) pseudo-cell(12) (1=7)r7c9-(7=2)r7c3  -  r2c3=(2-1)r2c1=r5c1; r5c9<>1 |
