I can't do it in less than 3:

The X-Wing on 1 in rows 2 and 6 and the 19-2 XY wing pivot r4c6
appear to be able to be done in either order. They are needed to open
the
Quote:
69-2 XY-wing pivot r1c4
which finally settles its hash. Strangely, the cell solved by the X wing (r4c3)
is irrelevant to breaking the puzzle....

Hugh,
First, either X-Wings on 1 (whether r26 or c26) removes 1 from both r1c4 and r4c3.
After some tidying up, you get a pair of 26 in c4, then another pair of 19 in box 5. I hope it helps.
Regards,
Yeoks

You are entirely correct- I was lax on my eliminations - not something
you want to do too often!
