| UR Type 1 <34> in r14c12 solves the puzzle. |

| And there's a good ol' XY wing (679) for those of us who, for no particular reason, prefer to avoid uniqueness solutions. |

Are you referring to:
r4c3 (A), r4c5 (*), r6c3 (B), r6c6 (C)?
Must the XY Wing (679) removes the common digit '7' from r4c5?

Does r1c9, r2c9, r9c9 constitute a naked triple (127) and thus remove '1' and '2' from r3c9 and '2' from r8c9?

Maybe I am beginning to get this..... ;-)

Ema, sorry, there's no naked triple there. A naked triple would have to be three cells containing only the same three numbers, but there could be different number combinations. R1c9 has a 35 in it.
For example, a naked triple of 127 could look like:
12-17-27 or
127-27-12 or
17-127-127 |

| Same as Clement, but I also needed a UR 13 after the UR 34. |

Hi Ema,
You're correct but you're not quite there yet. There is an X wing on 7 (cols 6& that will take the 7 out of R6C3. This cell becomes 69 and is the pincer that takes the 7 out of R4C5.
Cheers |

| That smiley should be '8'. Don't know how that happened; must be the computer, couldn't possibly be my typing skills! |

That happens frequently since some of the smileys are created from a number and a parenthesis. It's easily correctable, and I have to do it frequently. Just edit your post and then below the message box click the box to disable smileys in this particular post. |

Thanks Marty. The other mistake I made was saying that R6C3 becomes the pincer. It's actually the pivot. Not the computer, not my typing, just a fuzzy brain  (smiley intended!) |

Wendy,
Yes, there was a UR 13 after the UR 34. However, it was not neccessary to use it, because, once you remove the 34 in r1c1 you get two naked pairs 28 in col 1 and 13 in col 3 which you can use any of them to complete the puzzle. |

I too like to avoid uniqueness based solutions.
The 679 xy-wing is actually two steps, 1) 7 x-wing 2) 679 xy-wing.
The 367 xy-wing is a one stepper that avoids uniqueness tests. |
