Dear anonymous,
I've had this situation occur, although with different brands of chain. Being too cheap to buy more chain tools, I have been successful by pushing the pin of the stiff link on alternating sides about a quarter turn with the chain tool. Sometimes this helps. When it doesn't, I place a flathead screwdriver blade in at 90 degrees to the stiff link, and twist the handle so as to lever the pinch open by a very small amount.
Good luck with it.
Regards,
