Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site

Using only the standard VH techniques, I needed three moves.

X-Wing (8), r37
X-Wing (4), c36
XYZ-Wing (248, pivot r7c6

Marty:
If you examine the intersection of r9 with box 9 in your grid you see that r7c7<>4 thus negating the x-wing in 4. After taking the x-wing in 8 the solution is either your mentioned XYZ-wing <248> or the BUG+1.

After the x-wing on 8, the xy-wing 234 pivoting in r7c4 solves the puzzle.

Thanks. I can't seem to shed the problem of missing some basics from time to time. Embarassed

assume that r8c6 <> 8 then XY 234 pivoted at r7c4 quickly leads to r8c5=8, So r7c6 cannot be 8 and this solves it
