A (contradictory) implication chain okay?

Code: Select all
[r1c7]=3 [r9c7]=4 [r9c9]=5 [r8c7]=9 [r6c7]=5 [r6c3]=9 [b7]~9 => [r1c7]<>3

SSTS completes puzzle.

247    1      2479   | 3      8      267    | 4579   467    569

r6c5<>9 -> finned x-wing 9 in r69 -> r8c7<>9 -> r8c2=9

Edit: made a mistake, can only continue this way:
So one of r6c5 and r8c2 is 9
r6c5=9 -> r6c3=5 -> r6c7=3 -> r1c9=3 -> r7c9=6
r8c2=9 -> r7c2=3 -> r7c9=6

Solves with x-wing, kite, xyz-wing, w-wing

What about the 3s in [r7c89]:?:

Otherwise, a great stab at a Kraken X-Wing.

Ah, thank you. I had eliminated 3 in r7c8 before, but then thought it was not necessary.
Edit: Oops, how was that ?

I had to change my solution, edited above.
