				| Sorry, I forgot to save my post-basics grid. But there was a potential DP on 26 in b45. The killers were a pseudo cell in c2 which combined with other cells in c2 for a 389 triple; r2c2=6. The other killer was a 5 in r5c6; r1c6=6. The pincers of 6 set r1c1, r2c5<>6. After cleanup therefrom:

				| How did you get to that grid? As I mentioned, I used a DP. Was it not needed? Did I not take basics far enough? Or did you play a move that you didn't mention? |  |

				| I just use lc/ls moves highest was a triple. I noticed one move you had not made in your grid was removig some 5's from block 7 (all the 5's in row 8 are in b7. I will work up a list if you need it. 	  | Marty R. wrote: |  	  | How did you get to that grid? As I mentioned, I used a DP. Was it not needed? Did I not take basics far enough?

				| Thanks, I did it again on Draw/Play and basics took me to the one-stepper XY-Wing. However, I did like my DP move, even though it shouldn't have been there.  |  |
