				Yes,
 
 
A very easy W-wing -26 (excited by 36) did it for me.
 
 
The basics were pretty good, I thought.

I'm guessing you refer to the three extra candidates ... but I see only one inference and one inference stream: either the AUR is a type 2 UR or it's a type 1 UR. |

In a recent discussion with Peter, he used a strong link based on two guardian cell candidates. I suggested that he use forcing chain streams for guardian cell candidates because the logic would be consistent when he encountered more than two candidates.
 
 
Now, I could/should have written three streams, one for each extra candidate, but I chose to use a strong link instead -- going against my advice to Peter. A fact that I fully expected him to catch!
 
 
BTW: I originally saw it as a forcing chain on (6)r6c3:
 
 
(6)r6c3 - (6)r6c7
 
(6)r6c3 = UR Type 3 - (6)r6c7

(Danny, I made exactly that point about using strong-link notation in URs/ADP in reply to the original post.)
 
But I bet you couldn't resist using it because it seems so much more elegant than a multi-stream layout - though I accept this is the only approach that scales to 2+ streams.   
 
Nice move by the way    |

				You can also use the UR as a weak inhibiting link for the base digits
 
 
(6=27)r6c39 -UR- (27=3)r5c39 - (3=6)r4c7 => r6c7 <> 6
 
 
Even useful for those times when you have "solved" one of the UR cells |
