				I agree with you Ema, yesterday's H puzzle was very messy. I found that a couple of box-line eliminations were needed quite early in the piece, starting with Col 3 if I recall.
 
 
Post your grid if your still stuck - we're here to help.
 
 
Cheers |

				Actually, Ema, take a look at R8.

To answer your question, there is a <567> Naked Triple in r8c136 that results in r8c2=4 ... and the eliminations r8c79<>5. |
