 Basics lead to an early 14 UR in r46c35 -8 in r6c1
 
 Some more basics lead to grid above
 
 Then I think it's maybe called a 1246 WXYZ in r7c4 r8c4 r8c6 r7c7 to eliminate 2 in r7c6 and r8c9

				| There are a few more basics that can be performed on Tom's grid.  There are LC's 1s in box 3 (-1r1c16) and in box 9 (-1r9c6) and there's a hidden pair 89 in row 7.  The LC's of 1's in box 9 opens up a 234 XYZ Wing (-4r7c4) which can be used to solve it. 
 I also found a long single-step solution that I can post if anyone wants to see it.  (It's pretty darn ugly though!)

				| Yes, after basics and the UR Type 1 of (14) I was left with this: 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +----------+-----------+--------------+
 | 347 5 9  | 8  6  47  | 124 13  2347 |

 | 37  8 14 | 14 2  9   | 6   5   37   |
 +----------+-----------+--------------+
 | 2   7 14 | 3  14 5   | 9   8   6    |
 | 5   9 6  | 2  7  8   | 3   4   1    |
 | 14  3 8  | 9  14 6   | 7   2   5    |
 +----------+-----------+--------------+
 | 89  1 7  | 46 5  234 | 24  36  89   |

				| Then implemented the XY-Wing: 
 4/6/3 in r7c48,r9c6=>r7c6,r9c89<>3.
