Code: |
+-------------+---------------+------------+
| 4 8 3 | 5679 679 567 | 2 1 69 |
| 126 29 169 | 3 4 26 | 5 8 7 |
| 7 5 269 | 269 8 1 | 3 4 69 |
+-------------+---------------+------------+
| 9 7 58 | 4 36 356 | 168 2 13 |
| 3 4 26 | 1 267 8 | 67 9 5 |
| 26 1 58 | 2567 2367 9 | 678 37 4 |
+-------------+---------------+------------+
| 12 239 7 | 8 2369 236 | 4 5 123 |
| 8 6 129 | 29 5 4 | 17 37 123 |

The 9 in the second row occupies box 1, which is to say that the 9 in box 1 lies in the second row. This reduces the third column to three pairs.
Then check the rows occupied by 3 in boxes 7 and 8. This discloses another pair.
At this stage the final trick, an x-wing, appears.

Many thanks to Steve R. I can't believe that I overlooked the 9's in Box-1. |

It’s good to hear from you.
The x-wing I saw concerned the placing of 2 in the second and sixth columns.
