I may have gone wrong here but surely Clement's 'after basics' comes out
 
 with simple basics after the naked pair 69 in column 8 makes r4c8 a 4?
 
In fact I couldn't get the 4 out of r7c8 as above. 
 
 
But Clement's solution works as does a 146 XYZ after my basics (having
 
 also removed the 4 from r1c9) and a W wing on 46s- but have I gone
 
 wrong somewhere? And it seemed such a simple puzzle today.....

I have 49 in r7c8. The 6 comes out because of the Locked Candidates in box 6. It looks like Clement's grid might have some sort of mechanical error. |

				This is the after basics grid:
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  +-------------+-------------+-------------+
 
| 7   9   5   | 46  3   2   |N146 8  E16  | 
 
| 2   6   1   | 49  5   8   | 3   7  H49  | 
 
| 8   3   4   |679 J67  1   |F69  5   2   | 
 
+-------------+-------------+-------------+
 
| 9   1   3   | 67  8   467 | 2   46  5   | 
 
| 6   2   7   | 5  L49  3   | 8   1   49  | 
 
| 4   5   8   | 2   1  A69  | 7  B69  3   | 
 
+-------------+-------------+-------------+
 
| 1   7   2   | 3  469 D469 | 5  C49  8   | 
 
| 3   4   6   | 8  K79  5   |G19  2   17  | 
 
| 5   8   9   | 1   2  M47  |I46  3   67  | 
 
+-------------+-------------+-------------+ | 	  
 
ABCD is an X-wing on 9.
 
XY-wings:
 
EFG -169
 
HFI -469
 
FJK 67-9
 
LKM -479
 
FIC 46-9
 
XYZ-wing ENI 14-6
 
 
I am too lazy to look for W- and M-wings.

				Thanks Keith- so what you're saying if I've got this right is that the
 
puzzle can be solved..........  
 
 
 
(Thanks also to Marty - BTW has any VH puzzle beaten this one for the
 
number of solutions?)

				Hugh,
 
 
Yes.  If you find all the wings you are probably on the correct path!
 
 
I do not recall ever seeing a puzzle with so many wings coexisting.
