				| In the diagram the 5 in r8c7 can be removed because of the X wing leaving a type something or other UR on 34 which
 sets r8c7 to 3. But even this doesn't seem to set it- it still
 needs the  XYZ. This was a complicated VH- but I thought it
 was strangely unsatisfying...

				| Two additional deletions are available in the posted grid due to "locked candidates" conditions: r1c8<>1 & r6c5<>2.

 The first of these two deletions opens a w-wing(45)r1c8|r8c1 with SL (5)r9c28. However, this does not result in any direct deletions but transporting (4)r8c1, marked a thru h, does the deed.
 
 If r8c1=4, then r9c3=2, then r9c2<>2, then r4c2=2, then r4c5=4, then r4c6=7, then r5c6=6, then r5c7=4. Now the two pincers in r1c8 & r5c7 give r13c7,r6c8<>4 to complete the puzzle.
 
 I do not know if the pincer transport I used is considered a VH move, but hopefully it is acceptable to some folks........

				| Actually the x-wing on 5 in col 19 mentioned by George Woods above solves it. No other moves needed. |  |

				| I used the X-Wing and XYZ-Wing. I've done it twice and needed the 2nd step. |  |

 I solved it the same way without using XY pivoted at r4c2 .
 
 But I can't deduce that r5c6=7 as the system "Hint" showed.

 I don't know how the hints work, but after the XYZ-Wing, r5c7=6, so r5c6 has to be 7. Don't know if that makes any sense.

 The "Hint" shows r5c6=7 just after the X-Wing (r8c2=6) and before deducing r5c7=6.

 OK, looking at Ted's grid, it's based on the XY-Wing 246 pivoted in r6c8.
