It certainly wasn't "friendly." I managed it with three Nice Loops and an X chain, which I append here not for any claim to beauty, but in case anyone has a bad case of insomnia:

Think of it not as an error, but as an abundance of solution. I only meant to point out that you had a fine 2-stepper. Smile

almost XY wing [(13)r9c4, (39)r9c3, (19)r7c2] =(7)r7c2 -(7=1)r7c9; r7c4<>1

Marty, if I'm not mistaken, your first two steps are enough to solve it.

Thank you Peter, and nice find, Marty.

Peter, where you have (6=2)r5c6 I wonder if you mean (6=2)r5c7?

I think you mean I used too many boxes? Bother. Thanks for setting me straight.

I think this is the first time I've found one of these. I recognized it first as a longer nice loop, then rearranged it until it matched one of the approved patterns.

If you combine Marty's first two steps with my last two, it does come out right. My pass through the basics unfortunately included a couple of, ahem, inadvertantly correct placements. Embarassed

I am unable to determine how you concluded that r9c5=2 given a UR18.

Drat, I messed up on the basics. I wish the puzzle would just come out wrong when I do that so I know to start over. Sad

My solution doesn't meet the specs for the difficulty level, but I had plenty of fun!

I posted this puzzle as a "fun" XY-level puzzle.

It was certainly fun! As often happens, I found a longish chain instead of a short-and-sweet wing. I guess it counts as an XY chain, if ...

Same target as Peter's, but a different pattern of 3s to get there:
(6)r4c2 = (6-3)r4c7 = r6c9 - r2c9 = (3-7)r2c3 =(7)r2c2; r4c2<>7

Found several deletions of 1s, but in the end only needed two of them:

XYZ wing 137 pivot r1c2 => r1c3<>1
anp (18=3)r48c2-r8c9=r2c9-(3=1)r2c1 => r1c2<>1
