Hi, Korky!
The short answer is that you can eliminate the possibility of a "6" at r3c1. Here's why.
-- There are only two places for a "6" in column 2, at r2c2 and r6c2.
-- There are only two places for a "6" in column 6, at r3c6 and r6c6.
-- If r2c2 = 6, then clearly r3c1 <> 6.
-- But if r2c2 <> 6, then r6c2 = 6, r6c6 <> 6, r3c6 = 6, and r3c1 <> 6.
I think that's enough to solve the puzzle. dcb |

For doing it without a forcing chain this link might help you. The 2 strong links to eliminate 6 in r3c1 here are either r5c1-r6c2 and r6c6-r3c6 or (as David pointed out) r2c2-r6c2 and r6c6-r3c6 |

Thanks guys. The "fork position" is a new one on me. I'll try to spot it myself next time.
Your help much appreciated. |
