In the diagram the 5 in r8c7 can be removed because of the
X wing leaving a type something or other UR on 34 which
sets r8c7 to 3. But even this doesn't seem to set it- it still
needs the XYZ. This was a complicated VH- but I thought it
was strangely unsatisfying...

Two additional deletions are available in the posted grid due to "locked candidates" conditions: r1c8<>1 & r6c5<>2.

Code:
 *-----------------------------------------------------------*
 | 9     17    6     | 47    3     2     | 145   45    8     |
 | 8     4     3     | 5     9     1     | 7     26    26    |
 | 2     17    5     | 467   46    8     | 134   9     34    |
 |-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
 | 6    d25    279   | 3    e24   f47    | 59    8     1     |
 | 45    8     247   | 9     1    g67    |h46    3     245   |
 | 1     3     249   | 8     26    5     | 469   24    7     |
 |-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
 | 7     9     8     | 146   5     3     | 2     146   46    |
 |a45    6     1     | 2     8     9     | 345   7     345   |
 | 3    c25   b24    | 146   7     46    | 8     1456  9     |
 *-----------------------------------------------------------*



The first of these two deletions opens a w-wing(45)r1c8|r8c1 with SL (5)r9c28. However, this does not result in any direct deletions but transporting (4)r8c1, marked a thru h, does the deed.

If r8c1=4, then r9c3=2, then r9c2<>2, then r4c2=2, then r4c5=4, then r4c6=7, then r5c6=6, then r5c7=4. Now the two pincers in r1c8 & r5c7 give r13c7,r6c8<>4 to complete the puzzle.

I do not know if the pincer transport I used is considered a VH move, but hopefully it is acceptable to some folks........

Actually the x-wing on 5 in col 19 mentioned by George Woods above solves it. No other moves needed.

I used the X-Wing and XYZ-Wing. I've done it twice and needed the 2nd step.

I solved it the same way without using XY pivoted at r4c2 .

But I can't deduce that r5c6=7 as the system "Hint" showed.

I don't know how the hints work, but after the XYZ-Wing, r5c7=6, so r5c6 has to be 7. Don't know if that makes any sense.

The "Hint" shows r5c6=7 just after the X-Wing (r8c2=6) and before deducing r5c7=6.

OK, looking at Ted's grid, it's based on the XY-Wing 246 pivoted in r6c8.
