				| W-Wing 57 with strong link 5 in col 7 solves it by setting r7c6<>7. |

				Also a sashimi X wing on 5 does the trick.
 
A two stepper ... X wing on 6 followed by a BUG+1 |

For those of us who need a show and tell session:
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  
 
+----------+-----------+---------+
 
| 5 4   2  | 7  8   6  | 9  3  1 |
 
| 3 1   7  | 5  9   4  | 8  2  6 |
 
| 6 9   8  | 2  3   1  | 7  4  5 |
 
+----------+-----------+---------+
 
| 4 2   1  | 8  567 57 | 56 9  3 |
 
| 8 56A 9  | 1  4   3  | 2 B56 7 |
 
| 7 X35 36 | 9  56* 2  | 1  8  4 |
 
+----------+-----------+---------+
 
| 2 8   36 | 36 1   57 | 4  57 9 |
 
| 9 37Y 4  | 36 57Z 8  | 56 1  2 |
 
| 1 67D 5  | 4  2   9  | 3 C67 8 |
 
+----------+-----------+---------+

ABCD forces the removal of '6' from X&Y.  If A is '6' then C must be '6' and if D is '6' then B must be '6' 
 
XYZ removes the '5' from r6c5.

				| Another single stepper is a kite in 5 originating from BOX 9 which removes 5 in r4c6. |

				The "official" solution is probably an X-wing on 6 followed by an XY-wing.
 
 
Or, there is a different XY-wing available before the X-wing.

				| as well as the X wing followed by bug+1 or XY wing  or the single step W wing on 57 or the skyscaper in 5, there is an ER on 5s that denies a 5 at r4c7(just like the skyscraper) 'cos the strongly linked 5s in row8 would kill all the 5s in Box5 |
