MSLS
14 cell truths: r39c1, r29c2, r369c6, r269c7, r1256c8; 14 links: 89c1268, 9c7, 3c8, 7r2, 2r6, 67r9
eliminations: -9 r8c1, -89 r4c6, -9 r147c7; ste
Actually, the puzzle has a very simple solution in two steps:
1. JF (8)r2369\c1268 => -8 r4c6, r15c8; NP(39)r15c8
2. JF (9)r2369\c1268 => -9 r8c1, r4c6, r147c7; ste
The MSLS is a one-stepper using the same logic (-9r8c1 elimination yields the ste finish)
Added: nice solutions by JCO and eleven !
