Thought I was just getting the hang of fiendish when this one arrived. How wrong I was ! Currently stuck at the following position:

73* **4 62*
694 **2 8**
82* *** ***

*89 43* 2*7
4*7 *** 3*8
3*2 *78 ***

943 *** 15*
**8 94* 73*
*76 1*3 984

Any tips please.

Where can the 9 go in box 5? does this allow you to remove the 9 from the candidate-list in box 6?

Then take a look at column 8, you should notice something intresting

Update: after that you really should look at row 6 (and see if you can aplly the same technique)
