Sorry I have great trouble with notation

You can eliminate 5's in r1c5 and r89c4

using r1c1 89, r1c9 39, r1c4 58 and r9c5 35

maybe a XYZ wing not sure

Mine looks a lot like like the other solutions.

(9=3)r9c1 - (3=5)r9c5 - (5=6)r1c5 - (6=7|9)r1c89 => r1c1 <> 9.

Very Good solution Tom. There are many notations k9, box position(bp)etc, for me the notation which I find better is the Eureka Notation, it shows what is happening in the cell, e.g to write candidate 5 in row 9 column 5 is (5)r9c5 or for a bi value cell (8=5)r1c4 means 5 is the solution in r1c4. Your solution is an XY Alternating Inference Chain XY-AIC and can be written in Eureka Notation as follows:
(5=3)r9c5 - (3=9)r9c1 - (9=8)r1c1 - (8=5)r1c4 => - 5r1c5,r89c4; stte(singles to the end). When 5 is not in r9c5 you end with 5 in r1c4
The assumption in the first termin the chain is that 3 is the solution in r9c5, it is eliminated - in r9c1, 9 remains (3=9)r9c1 and so on. You can read more on this notation in Sudopedia: Eureka notation(I like it myself).

Thanks Clement,

Will have to do some reading up on this.

My logic didn't start with r9c5, but used the 58 in r1c4 as a sort of pivot.

Another way is look at it is r1c4 <>8 because you would have 3 in r9c1 and 3 in r2c4 this would lead to no 3's in box 8

I forgot to mention that Chains are reversible, you can start with r1c4 and get the same solution:
(5=8)r1c4 - (8=9)r1c1 - (9=3)r9c1 - (3=5)r9c5 => - 5r1c5,r89c4.
If 5 is not in r1c4, it will be in r9c5.
