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!) |

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