Finned xy-wing 3-47 with vertex 37 in r6c2, pincer 34 in r3c2, pincer 47 in r6c9 and fin 4 in r6c2 also does the deed.
If the xy-wing is true, r3c9<>4
If the fin is true: (4)r6c2 - r1c2 = r1c7; r3c9<>4.
Both conditions delete 4 in r3c9 to complete the puzzle.

I found Clement's solution after only a few two-candidate pencil marks.
George's W-wing is a one-stepper.

Draw/Play gives a hint of '3' at r7c1.
Is it possible to show the way?

The "5" in row 8 must be in cell r8c1 or r8c2.
Therefore r7c1 cannot be "5" |
