Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site
 
 
There's a second one-step 147 XY-Wing pivoted on r8c3. (Too many basics
 
and too little VH for my liking, but I suppose we should be thankful for the
 
few VHs that the software has produced in 2015.) |

				| Can't remember what it is called BUT every unfilled cell has double candidate bar 1 in box 7 . the forgotten rule is "set this to the value common to the triad" i.e in this example  r9c1 =1 and this solves it |

It's the BUG+1 I think. I notice there's also a 17 W-Wing> r8c3=4 which sets it (or is it a skyscraper....?) |
