9r3c6=(9-8)r9c6=r8c6-r8c3=r3c3; -9r3c3

M-Wing (47). Either the 4 or 7 in r8c7 proves itself in r13c8. If r13c8<>4 or 7, then r4c8 is that value; r6c7<>47. |

I was extremely proud of my solution. However, a reliable source told me (offline) that my reasoning was invalid. So, I guess no more grouped M-Wings or whatever it was called.    |
