				My initial solution was the same as that already posted by Clement so I looked for an alternative.
 
 
I did spot an almost hidden  pair AHP(45)r46c1=(4)r5c1 which set r5c1=4 but, to my surprise and disappointment, it did not advance the puzzle.
 
 
So, I settled for a variation of my original solution:
 
 
5r6c7=(5-1)r6c1=r6c3-(1=8=4)r7c36-r46c6=r6c4-(4=5)r6c7 => 5r6c7

Note the DP 49 in R169C456.
 
 
One way to prevent the DP is that AB is 68, forming an XY-wing with CD.  R7C3 <>1. (Which solves the puzzle.)
 
 
Now, how to make an argument about R1C4 <6>?

r6c6 = 6 implies r4c6 =6?  How can that be?  They are in the same column.

				You beat me to it. I was going to delete the post, but you're too fast and (justifiably) untrusting.       |

 | 	  
 
If r6c6=6 is false, then it's conceivable that it could lead to r4c6=6.
 
 
Guess what, r6c6=6 is false. Unfortunately, Marty doesn't list his derived chains. |

However, proving r6c6<>6 doesn't make r4c6=6 an "outcome". |

Yah, sure. One would have to prove the same "outcome" from (6)r1c4 and (8)r9c6.
