 The only places for a 5 in row 7 is in box 9, so eliminate 5 from r9c7.
 So r7c7=5

 xy-wing (r2c2, r2c5, r3c4) removes 4 from r3c1.
 xy-wing (r7c2, r9c3, r9c6) removes 4 from r9c1

 x-wing on 4s removes 4 from r8c6 and r8c9 (and places 6s in rows 8 and 9)
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +-----------+-----------+-------------+ | 8   7  2  | 6  5  14  | 13  9   34  |
 | 459 14 6  | 7  19 3   | 8   145 2   |
 | 59  3  15 | 49 8  2   | 6   145 7   |
 +-----------+-----------+-------------+
 | 3   6  9  | 5  4  8   | 2   7   1   |
 | 1   8  4  | 2  3  7   | 9   6   5   |
 | 2   5  7  | 1  6  9   | 4   3   8   |
 +-----------+-----------+-------------+
 | 7   14 8  | 3  2  6   | 5   14  9   |
 | 45  2  3  | 49 19 15  | 7   8   6   |

 xy-wing (r3c4, r3c1, r8c1) removes 4 from r8c4.
 
 That should leave a smooth finish.

				| Thanks, I cannot believe I missed that 5. That is usually the 1st thing I look for. I guess an early rise for a crowed flight with crying babies breaks the concentration a bit. Guess I will save the very hard ones for quite time. |  |
