				A clean puzzle! Nothing but singles plus one step:
 
r9c4=1 -> r9c6=2 -> r2c6=8 ->
 
r9c2=1 -> r1c2=8 -> r2c3<>8

				Note the potential DP on 89 in boxes 23. The DP is killed by either 7 or the 4 in r3c5.
 
 
R1c5=7 or r1c8=7-->r1c4=2-->r2c6=8.
 
R3c5=4-->r3c9=8-->r8c9 not 8-->r9c8=8. Pincers r2c6 and r9c8-->r9c6<>8.
 
 
Note the word "not" in the above line. The site would not let me use the <> to indicate not 8.

				After the Basics, same as Marty's Grid above, we can eliminate 7 in r8c4 using the candidates left in r1c4 as follows:-
 
If r1c4=7 => r8c4<>7
 
If r1c4=2 then, r1c7<2>r2c6=8 =>r2c3=6 =>r1c3<6>r8c7=7; r8c4<>7.
