				| UR 27 in Grid r16c46 removes 27 in r6c4 which solves it. |

				Wings of victory
 
 
In addition to Clement's UR, I found the following single-steppers:
 
 
XY-Wing 138 piv r1c3 elim 3 r3c9 r1c2
 
XY-Wing 189 piv r1c5 elim 1 r2c1
 
XY-Wing 138 piv r3c2 elim 1 r1c9
 
XYZ-Wing 389 on 8 b12 elim 8 r1c3
 
 
Also a different 189 XY-Wing followed by a W-Wing on 18 but had a brain cramp at that point tring to find a solution. |

				| The 89s in boxes 2 and 7 operating on 8s in row 3 quickly get to the result of the UR which I chose to decline! |

				| Well, I found one XY 189 and since I've been getting stuck on basics, I'm happy with that. |

				| After basics, a 138 xy wing on 3, R1C3, R1C9, R3C2, and that does it. |
