				| Note the potential DP on 89 in boxes 23. The DP is killed by either 7 or the 4 in r3c5. 
 R1c5=7 or r1c8=7-->r1c4=2-->r2c6=8.
 R3c5=4-->r3c9=8-->r8c9 not 8-->r9c8=8. Pincers r2c6 and r9c8-->r9c6<>8.
 
 Note the word "not" in the above line. The site would not let me use the <> to indicate not 8.

				| After the Basics, same as Marty's Grid above, we can eliminate 7 in r8c4 using the candidates left in r1c4 as follows:- If r1c4=7 => r8c4<>7
 If r1c4=2 then, r1c7<2>r2c6=8 =>r2c3=6 =>r1c3<6>r8c7=7; r8c4<>7.
