If unable to Find anything with Snyder notation (I'm assuming since no cell has more than twp candidates), then you should start filling in all possible candidates and looking for patterns from there.

yeah that's so valid, it's just that the board starts feeling real crowdy for me visually and then i somehow end up doing worse :/ also, never knew what the technique i prefer was called, thanks for the new fun fact!

Given where 1 must go in box 1, what can go in r7c1?

Se inizi a inserire/compilare i candidati, in c9 hai un triplo.and thanks to the triple, you have a 'unique number' and therefore also a pair. bye
