Using just VH moves, starting with the same grid as Clement, I used the 23-7 XY-Wing w pivot r5c6, then I saw the 7 X-Wing (but I noticed later that it wasn't necessary). Then I used a 68-2 XY-Wing that opened up a 29-8 XY-Wing but then I noticed that THAT wasn't necessary either! So I think only the 2 VH moves (i.e. two XY-Wings) were needed. Thanks for the puzzle!

Yes indeed, one could use a variety of moves....X-Wings, XY-Wings, I think there was even a possible Skyscraper in there, depending on earlier moves used. Glad you liked the puzzle...you are welcome.
