I used three steps: A kite, x-wing and BUG+1.
1) A kite in 9 originating from BOX 1 sets r7c9<>9. This opens
2) An X-Wing in 9 in cols 3 and 7 setting r3c1<>9 which is followed by
3) BUG+1; r8c1=5.

I think the kite may not be needed. The X wing followed by the BUG+1 solves the puzzle. For those who don't like BUG+1, there is an XYZ wing with 175 pivoted in r8c1 which solves the puzzle as well.

There was also at least one XY-Wing available as the second move after the X-Wing.

Prakash,
Yes, you are quite right, the kite was not needed. The x-wing was there from the beginning. It is sometimes difficult to see these things while they are in front of your eyes.

Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site

From this postion, or one very like it. I used the 15 59 and implied 19 in BoxA since put a 3 anywhere in BOx A and the 19 in col1 is revealed leading to r8c2 being 1. What is this type of xy wing called?

George, if I understand your move correctly it is an xy-wing but using an almost-locked-set, in this case an almost-naked-pair 13, as one of the pincers.

The logic is...
Either a (13) pair exists in r13c1 ...
or
there is a 9 in one of r13c1, hence the pivot r9c1=5 and the other pincer r8c2=1.
In both cases, r1c2<>1 and so r8c2=1.

In eureka it would be...
Code:
anp(13=9)r13c1 - (9=5)r9c1 - (5=1)r8c2 ; r1c2<>1
