... or overlapping xy-wings again (568 boxes 4,6)
(this time it doesn't matter which one to take, they have the same effect)
So little of the puzzle left after basics...  |

| I tried it a second time. There was an XY-Wing on 568 which didn't take me too far. I didn't use it but there was a Finned X-Wing on 6 which solved it. |

Alternatively, there are a few things that can still be achieved using more basic means:
9 in r9c2: in col 1, 9 is confined to r89c1.
8 in r6c1,r5c3: 8 in col 2 confined to r56c2.
This leaves a naked 3 in r6c1, which in turn solves a whole bunch of cells, until we get to this point:
| Code: |
+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 6 7 2 | 9 4 8 | 5 3 1 |
| 5 3 9 | 6 1 2 | 8 7 4 |
| 48 1 48 | 35 35 7 | 9 6 2 |
+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 7 49 45 | 15 8 159 | 6 2 3 |
| 2 689 56 | 4 569 3 | 1 58 7 |
| 3 68 1 | 7 2 56 | 4 58 9 |
+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 1 2 346 | 8 369 69 | 7 49 5 |
| 89 5 38 | 13 7 4 | 2 19 6 |
| 49 46 7 | 2 569 1569 | 3 149 8 |

| And from there the xy-chain 65-51-13-38-84-45-56 also solves it. |
