 Yes that's the one (29-1 xy-wing) I saw, then I noticed that the key elimination
 that follows (r2c9<>6) is also produced by a 16-2 xyz-wing  pivot r1c9.
 (I always give thanks for these small matters of interest in the puzzles!)

				| Which is more difficult, the puzzles or the terminology? I'm going to use xyz when there 3 evaluations and xy with 2 from now on.    |  |

 The value of "Z" is 2, the number common to all three cells. In order for there to be a direct elimination, there would have to be a 2 in either r2c9 or r3c9.
