This is Grid 2 of the upper left section of a butterfly samurai puzzle by djape. I've completed all four of the other sections.

Code:
.-------------------------------.-------------------------------.-------------------------------.

| 46        17        9         | 3         14        2         | 5         67        8         |
| 2         3         8         | 67        67        5         | 9         1         4         |

Richard's SudokuSolver gives me the following hint:

Grid 02: XY-Chain r5c4(4/6) - r3c4(6/7) - r4c4=r4c6

I haven't used XY chains yet, so I don't really understand what that hint is trying to tell me. Can someone please explain?
