				A fun, interesting puzzle that did not readily match my bag of moves but I had an unusual step.
 
 
(5=6)r8c2-r12c2=r1c3-(6=9)r1c9-r3c7=r7c7-(9=5)r7c5; r8c56<>5
 
Multi-coloring (5);r2c5,r7c7,r9c6<>5
 
 
Probably a reasonable way to describe this next move, but it is not immediately obvious to me.
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		   *--------------------------------------------------*
 
 | 2    4    56   | 3    7    569  | 8    1    69   |
 
 | 8    569  7    | 2    49   1    | 3    45   69   |

 *--------------------------------------------------* | 	  
 
 
axy-wing (49-6) vertex (49)r2c5 and fin(5)r2c2
 
If the xy-wing is true; then r3c2<>6. Plus transport: (6)r2c2-(6=5)r1c3-r1c6=(5-6)r3c6 for two deletions.
 
If fin is true: (5)r2c2-(5=6)r8c2*-r9c3=(6)r9c6; r3c26<>6 for the same two deletions as the xy-wing which makes r3c4=6 to complete the puzzle.

				Ted,
 
 
Just for laughs, there's what I think is an AIC. The 5 in r9c3 proves a 6 in r8c4; r8c2<>6. |

				Looked for a long time for some MUG/DP/Oddagon but gave up! Three steps...
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  turbot/er(5) (5)r2c8=r3c7 - r7c7=r7c4 ; r2c5<>5
 
w-wing(49) (4=9)r2c5 r1c6=r1c9 - (9=4)r6c9 ; r2c9<>4
 
xy-chain ; (5=4)r2c8 - (4=9)r2c5 - (9=4)r8c5 - (4=6)r8c4 - (6=5)r8c2 ; r2c2<>5, r8c8<>5 |

				6r9c3=6r9c6-6r8c4=(6-4)r3c4=4r3c7-(4=5)r9c7 => -5r9c3
 
Kite 5R7C8 => -5r2c5 |
