Thanks Immpy, a nice puzzle to end the year
Sometimes patterns are nice to spot, but may or not help you solve
In this case, you can remove the 1 in r7c1 as you would get <46> pair in box 7 and then also r7c9=2, r5c9=9 gives <46> pair in box 4 creating UR
This led me to say if r6c1=9, r6c7=3, r4c9=9 leads to no <9> in box 5
Happy New Year

Well since 9's are the focus, I will look elsewhere to a nice XY chain.
Pincers for 4 at r4c2 and r5c8 means r5c12 < > 4. Follow a-d. Or d-a if you prefer.
| Code: | +-----------+-------------+-------------+
| 123 13 9 | 12 5 4 | 8 6 7 |
| 5 8 6 | 129 239 7 | 1234 24 123 |
| 12 7 4 | 6 23 8 | 123 9 5 |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+
| 8 34a 7 | 249 269 26 | 5 1 39b |
| ⓸69 ⓸6 5 | 3 8 1 | 7 24d 29c |
| 349 2 1 | 49 7 5 | 34 8 6 |
+----------+-------------+-------------+
| 146 5 3 | 8 1246 9 | 126 7 12 |
| 7 9 8 | 5 126 26 | 126 3 4 |
| 146 146 2 | 7 146 3 | 9 5 8 |

| Extend the XY chain by one and r6c7 <> 4 as then a=4 and no <4> in box 5 |

| Extend it one further still and we get r6c4 < > 4 because if it was then another 4 gets put into r4c4 - two 4’s in box 5. Contradiction. |

….if you insist r6c4 = 4 then r4c4 < > 4.
It also means there’s a 9 in r4c9. So r4c4 < > 9
That 9 created a <26> pair in box 5 and r4c4 < > 2
R4c4 is empty …….. Is that echo Perry Como I can hear ? |

Perfectly!
Be a while before she plays Gibraltar again.
She jumped on the stage there and shouted out:
“Hello Spain!”. |
