There is a pattern of <78> in rows 4, 5 and 6 which means that r4c9 can't be <78> so must be <5>

Has this pattern got a name?

Remove <2> from r6c4 to solve

There is an XY chain 57-79-69-56 in boxes 8 and 9 to remove <5> from r7c5 to solve

Can anyone explain Draw/Play hint of r2c3 = 1 as the solution?

I can see a chain that would give this, but it must be X, XY or XYZ, or not?
