There is an XY-Wing, 35-38-58, pivoted in r9c2. Making the elimination therefrom and doing some subsequent cleanup will place a 7 in r6c6. |

A quick definition of an XY-Wing is:
 
 
Start with a cell XY. That cell must see a cell XZ and another cell YZ. Any cell that sees both XZ and YZ cannot be Z.
 
 
Take a look at this and see if it's clear.
