XY-Wing 46 69 49 pivoted in r1c9 removing 4 in r3c1 solves it. |

For some reason, even after two tries, I finished it without the need for any advanced techniques. I am baffled. Could someone please post th grid after the basics? |

I saw three moves.
1) Type 3 UR (59) with 46 pseudo cell; r6c6<>4
2) W-Wing (49); r1c9<>9
3) XY-Wing (694); r3c1<>4 |

In addition to those already mentioned, I found the following:
469 xy-wing: r2c89 <>6
469 xy-wing: r1c3 <>6
46 w-wing in c16: r3c4 <>6
46 w-wing in c36: r1c5 <>4 |

(From Marty's grid) there are also a bunch of turbot/fish moves on 4 that finish it e.g.
Code: | kite(4) r2, c8 ; r6c6<>4
skyscraper(4) r2, r6 ; r3c8<>4, r5c7<>4 |

A skyscraper in 4s r3c8 <> 4 does the trick as well. I realized I was doing this elimination subconsciously without recognizing it as an advanced move. |
