Oh, it's easy seeing unique rectangles without greens. One end is always a pair -- that's obvious. And then you just check for someplace where the other end could possibly be. It's not hard. Sometimes one of the other end cells matches your pair cells. That's a type one unique rectangle. Sometimes both the other end have one matching number but not the other. That's a type 2. Sometimes you see a bend or a skew -- rarely -- then you check for a bent or skewed unique rectangle. It's all pretty easy. You don't have to be able to visualize very much at once.

I hope no one discriminates against those of us who are forced to use types three and four unique rectangles and non implicit virtual tandems and seldom cross-hatch

There was an opportunity for using the Nishio technique, but I was able to find the correct starting point for the forcing chain to solve things more conventionally.
