				I solved this puzzle without chains, but with a pseudo-cell as a pincer for a w-wing (which could be viewed as a chain). My three steps were: 	  | Quote: | 	 		  coloring on <7>,
 
w-wing78 with pincer <78> at r2c6 and pseudo-cell pincer <79>-<98> at r1c23 and strong link <7> in row8
 
w-wing 39 with pincers at r3c6 & r5c2 and strong link <3> again in row8.  |
