Steve, you could shorten your chain and still get a one step "stte" solution.
(2=36)r23c5 - (3=8)r1c6 - r1c3 = 8r2c2 => r2c2 <>2; stte

Leren should have a ball finding embedded chains in this grid.
One chain actually contains three embedded chains! Of course, some eliminations overlap.

There is a WXYZ Wing (236-8) Pivot r2c5, Pincers r1c6, r2c2 & r3c5 => - 8 r1c3, r2c4; stte
This might be considered an embedded chain if you write it as: (8=3) r1c6 [ - (3=6) r3c5 - (36=2) r2c5 - (2=8) r2c2 ].
On the other hand you could write it in a few other other ways, such as : (8=3) r1c6 - (36=2) r23c5 - (2=8) r2c2, in which case it doesn't look like an embedded chain.

What ???
An embedded chain accounts for its own eliminations. Starting with -3r3c5 and ending with =8r2c2 does not account for any elimination in this grid. In addition, your -(36=2)r2c5 term does not follow from =6r3c5. You are using memory from the outer term where you have =3r1c6.
I suggest that you use the (network) ALS-XZ: (8=2)r2c2 - (2=368)r1c6,r23c5 => r1c3,r2c4<>8
