I've been practicing finding chains lately for Evil puzzles on 1sudoku.com and I don't see one for the following puzzle. Could someone help me out? I'm sick of looking at it - even though I have this feeling that it's probably as obvious as a big fish lurking in the weeds. Thanks, Don.
Code:

nš59271 Evil

Hint : after "basics", {R3, R9, C1} has 2 solutions -> either a contradiction or singles to a unique solution.

Oh, good one! No wonder I didn't see it. And that looks like the one that JC was referring to too. Even with the hint I missed it. Thanks guys, that wasn't obvious to me. Don.
