I used the editor on the sudokuexchange... website to play this game.

Around minute 10 when you look at column 5, the so-called 29 remote pair. You have better than a 29 remote pair. In box 8, the three remaining free cells in the middle and left columns are 256, and the 9 can only be in column 7. Ergo, 2 in r8c5, 6 on the left of that 2 and 5 above the 6, and of course 9 in r2c5. Flurry of activity follows. Nice simple puzzle.
