I think it's because it's Sunday, Marty. In this puzzle I thought that
the 19 UR would also get it out, but, despite leading to a lot more
basics, it doesn't make it and the XYZ is still needed.

A fairly simple VH therefore. Yesterday, I was looking through the archives
and found a much more interesting one that stumped me completely
(much more fun and loads of chat on the forum after...) :

Code:

+-------+-------+-------+
| . . . | 7 . . | 2 9 . |
| 9 . . | 2 . . | . 3 . |
| . . 2 | . 9 . | . . 5 |
+-------+-------+-------+
| . . . | 6 . 9 | . 1 4 |
| 7 . . | . . . | . . 2 |
| 4 2 . | 3 . 7 | . . . |
+-------+-------+-------+
| 6 . . | . 5 . | 1 . . |
| . 4 . | . . 6 | . . 9 |
| . 5 8 | . . 3 | . . . |

Limiting myself to the standard VH moves of X-, XY- and XY-Wings, I found a two-stepper without difficulty.
