Candidates 469 form a Quantum cell as Candidates 78 in r5c1,r5c2,r1c1 & r1c2 form a unique quadrangle which leads to:
r1c6 Must only have 8 as valid Candidates (2469 is a Naked Quad in Row 1)

Candidates in r2c1 will force r9c2 to have only 2 as valid Candidates
r2c1=4: r2c1=4 => r2c4=7 => r2c6=6 => r8c6=7 => r8c9=2 => r1c9=9 => r1c5=4 => r9c5=6 => r9c2=2
r2c1=9: r2c1=9 => r7c1=8 => r8c3=6 => r9c2=2
Threfore r9c2=2

Almost locked sets xz rule
A=*
B=^
x=6
z=9
and we get R8C6<>6
