ANS(17=2)r38c3-(2=8)r9c1-(8=4)r9c9-r12c9=(4-5)r2c8=r2c7-(5=2)r8c7 Conflict => r8c3<>2

or

(5=2)r2c7-r1c8=r1c1-(2=8)r9c1-(8=4)r9c9-r12c9=4r2c8 => r2c8<>5

Much better. Who would spot this 6-cell ANS ? I even needed some time, when i saw it marked. In this case you don't have the usual help of intermediate pairs or triples.
