As an alternative to the 67 UR
r2c8<> 1 as if you stick to rows 2 and 3 you have a chain 1 - 4 - 7 - 3 - 8 which means r1c9 has nothing in it |

That's a decent contradiction.
(1)r2c8-(1=4)r8c9-(4=7)r2c3-(7=3)r3c3-(3=8)r3c7-(8=14)r12c9-(1)r2c8 |

As a post script there is another way using an ALS (Almost Locked Set) or to be accurate an AALS (Almost Almost Locked Set).
We have two ALS interacting:
Green {1,3,6,8} in (n-1=) 3 squares
Beige {1,2,3,4,8} in (n-1=) 4 squares
The restricted common should be 3 with the common candidate being 1 which can be removed from r2c8 because it can "see" all the other 1's in both ALS.
There's a wrinkle though.
The restricted common definition is bust because there's another 3 in r3c7. Otherwise it would fit and all would be well.
So logically we have a situation:
Either the ALS xz is true or the 3 is true in r3c7.
IF ALS is true then r2c8 <>1
If 3 is true (3)r3c7-(3=7)r3c3-(7=4)r2c3-(4=1)r2c9-r2c8 so r2c8 <>1
Makes the same elimination so all good. |
