I'm giving up on the one-stepper which I know is in there.

XY-Wing 59-7 with transport.

7r5c8=r7c8-(7=9)r7c9-(9=5)r7c3-(5=7)r6c3=>r5c1<>7.

XY-Wing 89-7, pivoted in r5c1, with transport, =>r3c1<>7

This was called XYZ-Transport when I first learned it and I get to use it perhaps once a year. I don't know how to Eureka it.

ABC is a flightless XYZ-Wing. Transport C to E via D. Now F sees all three pincers ABE and must be<>7.

[David P Bird]

Using the (38)UR:r34c12:

(8)r3c2 = (8)r4c2 - (8)r4c1 = (8)Xwing:r34c12 -[UR]- (3)XWing:r34c12 = (3)r8c3 => r3c2 <> 3

ABC is a flightless XYZ-Wing. Transport C to E via D. Now F sees all three pincers ABE and must be<>7.

XYZWing["AB-C"]-D=E -> "(79=8)r56c1-(8=7)r5c8"-7r56c7=7r3c7 -> "7r56c1=7r5c8"-7r56c7=7r3c7 -> 7r56c1=7r3c7 :=> -7r3c1

[tlanglet]

Finally got around to looking at this puzzle....

ANP(79=8)r65c1-(8=7)r5c8-r7c8=r7c9-r1c9=7r1c3 => r3c1,r6c3<>7

Edit: After posting my solution, I reviewed the earlier posts and realized that I used the identical logic as Marty's xyz-wing except I used a long, messy transport. I find it interesting how we tend to view the same pattern through different eyes.
