				| The usual one: An xy-wing 235 forces r4c1=3 which solves it. |  |

				| Don't you just hate it when you don't see something simple like that? I used a W wing 23 in boxes 1 & 7 to remove the 2 in R3C3 |  |

 Me too (missed the row 7 3 at first).
 
 I also missed a similar elimination of a 9 at the top.  In fact, at first I went with a harder method:  an x wing of 9s!
 
 But eventually I found that lovely, simple xy wing, no need for a preparatory x wing.
