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

With pairs and, even a quad, not too difficult. 9 mins.

A veritable forest of candidates - try to see the wood for the trees again, LOL!

Actually, thinking it would be an awkward one, I had a go, but using very little notation (I find extensive notation confusing) and got it out in 26 minutes. I didn't see the quad someone mentioned.

At 17:31, the naked 7 at R1,C4 was the key.

Now that you are turning to candidates, I am curious whether you will find a way to enter candidates overwriting the obvious naked 7 in r1c3.
