 *--------------------------------------------------------------------*

AAIC with (49=8)r7c8
[(9=4)r7c8-(4=8)r9c7-r9c2=8r7c1 => r7c1<>9] = [8r7c8-r9c7=r4c7-(8=2)r4c9-r78c9=(2-3)r8c7=(3-9)r8c8=9r7c8 Conflict => r7c8<>9]
Thus AIC is true => r7c1<>9

Ted

Edit: After my initial post, I re-visited the puzzle and found an ANS that is less messy than the AAIC.

ANS(9=48)r7c8,r9c7-(48=27)r78c9-(2=8)r4c9-r4c7=r9c7-r9c2=8r7c1 => 7c1<>9

For Ted:
Did you notice the 67 and 16 DP's (r6c123<>6 and r46c2<>6), which lead to a 6 in r5c2?
Solves with xyz-wing and 3 w-wings then.

Eleven, I can find 2x2 DPS at:
1. r7c36, r8c36 => r87c6 <> 1
2. r4c82, r6c82 => r64c2 <> 6
3. r2c76, r3c76 => r32c6 <> 9

but I'm having trouble understanding the eliminations you mention for r269c23. Can you possibly explain further?

Thanks, Phil

Sorry, was not clear enough. There are 3 potential UR's 67 in columns 23, so 6 or 7 has to be in the rest of the column cells, i.e. either r4c2=67 or r5c2=6. Since r4c2=67 implies r6c8=6 (through the 16 DP), the 6 can be eliminated from r6c123.
6r5c2=DP=(67-1)r4c2=1r4c8-(1=6)r6c8 => r6c123<>6

Oops, bloody mistake. It's not true, that 6 or 7 has to be in the rest of the column cells to prevent one of the 3 DP's.
