    Among lots sudoku videos, I enjoy your series most 😊. It’s easy to understand, generous & humorous as well.
    Some advanced techniques I read & watch alot on other channels but unable to comprehend until watching yours. Greatly appreciate 🎉.
    By the way, can you explain more about ALS (almost block set), Forcing chain?

      @@SudokuGuy Thank you for the encouragement! I actually have been watching some of your videos for about the last year or so. My favorite Sudoku puzzles to do are the “Extreme” ones and they have been so, for a lot longer than that. Been just using the basic techniques plus the few that I have figured out on my own. I didn’t even know that there were advanced techniques until I discovered you. I finally have the X Wing and the W Wing more or less figured out, I think. Some of them like this one, the Y or the YX Wing, the hatchet and the Swordfish(?), ones like that are still confusing….and yes, I continue to watch until I “get it”. Thank YOU, for being here and helping us all who love Sudoku, to be able to play it even better! ☺️ (Oh..and yes, I subbed a long time ago! ☺️)

    30:00 As an alternative to the Finned X-Wing(s) at this point in the puzzle, a Skyscraper on 5s in the rows (r6c5/r9c4, connected by r69c8) eliminates the candidate 5s in r45c4 and r7c5.
    You could then follow that up with another Skyscraper, this time on 6s in the columns (r4c7/r5c5, connected by r7c57), which eliminates the candidate 6s in r4c4 and r5c8, and the puzzle is singles to the end.
    Either way, an enjoyable solve!

    I'm relatively new to sudoku and some of the techniques so I'm wondering if I'm misunderstanding part of the solve or just found a different path. At the 20:30 mark, I saw, in row 4, a 57, 67, and 56 which (if I understand things correctly) would lock 5, 6, and 7 to those cells leaving 1 & 3 for the other two cells. Looking down from each of those two cells shows where the 1 and 3 go. Did I find a correct alternative to your path? Did you see it and deliberately not use it because it would affect your finned x-wing? Anyway, it got solved.
    While I watch some of Sudoku Swami and Cracking the Cryptic, I prefer learning from you. I appreciate the hours you've put into these videos.

      Hello Jim...you are now looking at advanced puzzles and let me assure you that when you reach this level there may be several ways to go....much depends on what you spot, and when , also how much you know already. If you are at this level you are doing very well. Hang in there.

    @29:45 How do we know that if the fin is not true, the 5 in r7c8 will be the 5? Looks like r7c5, r7c8, or r9c8 could contain the 5. Just looking at the numbers in the finned x-wing area, this question may arise for others. Then, I remember the premise: Either the x-wing is true or the fin is true. So if we assume the fin is not true, then the x-wing would be true, eliminating the other 5s in column 8.
    Are you going to do any more videos? If you do, I suggest showing how you spot some of the more difficult to find patterns that may be profitable to pursue. One could waste a lot of time looking if not able to spot the needed elements.

    at 4:22 the bottom center cell could be a 9 as well (2, 8 and 9)
    so I think you were just lucky at 8:37 that it worked out, because that cell could be an 8 or a 9

    Prior to the finned x-wing, I noted that the 3 empty cells in column 6 of box 8 nust contain 1-4-7 and therefore no room for a 6 which is therefore in cell 16 (column/row notation).
