My first pass was a two stepper......

Quote:
Flightless axy-wing (35-6) vertex (35)r7c5 with fin (7)r1c5; r6c2<>6
If xy-wing is true plus transport; (6)r1c5-r46c5=(6)r6c4;
If fin is true: (7)r1c5-r1c2=(7-6)r6c2;

xy-wing (3-59) vertex (39)r3c5; r6c2<>5=6

 # 56 eliminations remain

This puzzles has an unusual UR elimination, that does nothing to advance the solution. _ Sad _

Consider the <49> UR in r29c13. Also, consider the <45> and <459> cells in [r2] and [r9].

Code:
 (4a)r2c1                   - (4=5)r2c9 - (a45=9)r2c3
 -plus-
 (4 )r2c1 - r2c3 = (4b)r9c3 - (4=5)r9c5 - (b45=9)r9c1
 *---------------------------------------------------*
 |  1    37   58   | 367  367  4    | 2    9    8    |
 | *4    2   *9    | 7    8    1    | 3    6   @5    |
 |  8    35   6    | 359  39   2    | 1    7    48   |
 |-----------------+----------------+----------------|
 |  68   169  18   | 2    169  5    | 7    4    3    |
 |  57   4    15   | 79   179  3    | 8    2    6    |
 |  2    67   3    | 467  467  8    | 5    1    9    |
 |-----------------+----------------+----------------|
 |  356  56   2    | 1    3    9    | 4    8    7    |
 |  3    8    7    | 34   2    6    | 9    5    1    |
 | *9    1   *4    | 8   @5    7    | 6    3    2    |
 *---------------------------------------------------*

 ("a" and "b" indicate network/memory used.)

So, r2c1<>4 follows.

I am usually quite hesitant to contribute since I usually screw something up; but in honor of continuing Marty's "more steps is good enough" philosophy, Peter's penchant for XY Chains, & my need to say something every 6 months or so, I offer the following alternate path. Simple coloring eliminates 7 from r6c4. Then an XY chain 34-46-67-73 eliminates 3 from r1c4; followed by another XY chain 35-56-67-73 eliminates 3 from r1c5. Finally an XY Wing 359 eliminates 5 from r7c2.

dejsmith,

Welcome back for your semi-annual contribution. Considering my solver's solution to this puzzle, your solution looks good to me.

Regards, Danny
