				| Two steps. 
 
  	  | Quote: |  	  | Type 3 UR67 in r23c48 provides a pseudocell 134 which combines with r1c6 and r3c56 to form a quad 1234 thereby forcing r1c4=6, UR 24 in r13c67. Looking at the implication outside the UR, we find
 Digit 2: an x-wing overlay so no 2s to consider,
 Digit 4: the only 4s in c67 are r48c6, one of which must be a 4 to prevent the deadly pattern.
 (4)r4c6 - r5c5 = r3c5 - r3c7 = r1c7,
 (4)r8c6 - r7c4 = r7c1.
 Thus, r1c1<>4 to complete the puzzle.

				| V Nice Ted, 
 However, could we not also say that a 6 placed in in either of r23c4 will produce the deadly pattern hence r1c4 must be 6 ?
 
 The nice logic following on from the second UR produced the two chains that proved 4 could not exist in r1c1.
 
 I was looking at a colouring solution after the first UR and this seemed to link your 2 chains:

 Absolutely! I just thought that posting the quad was more fun.

 l never notice/realized the connection, but given the strong inference of the two forcing cells, r48c6, the two chains are connected as you note.
