w-wing (49) r3c2 + r4c5 / 4r2c13 = 4r2c5; 9 transported from r4c5 via r4c3 to r7c3 => r79c2 <> 9; stte

eureka: (9=4) r3c2 - r2c13 = r2c5 - (4=9) r4c5 - r4c3 = r7c3 => r79c2 <> 9; stte

I initially found Leren's w-wing(49) but used the SL 4b2. I then looked for another solution but in the short time I had, I only found an ANS that used much of the same logic as the w-wing:

ANS(4=59)r79c2-(9=4)r3c2-r3c6=r2c5-(4=9)r4c5-r4c3=r7c3 Conflict => r7c2=4

Two steps. :( :oops:

(9=4)r3c2-r3c6=r5c6-(4=9)r4c5-r4c3=r5c1=>r3c1<>9
(4=9)r3c2-(9=5)r9c2-(5=8)r9c4-(8=6)r3c4-(6=4)r3c6=>r3c1<>4, combined with above=>r3c1<>49=2
