Sorry, but too many steps for diagrams. Lots of variety:
1) Swordfish of 6s (r167\c357) => -6 r2c57, r4c35, r8c37
2) Grouped continuous chain: (9)r1c8 = r1c23 - r23c1 = r5c1 - r5c9 = r23c9 - r1c8 => -9 r2c2, -9 r5c2, -9 r5c3, -9 r2c8, -9 r3c8
3) SK loop: (23=68)r6c56 - (68=35)r45c4 - (35=18)r89c4 - (18=34)r7c56 - (34=68)r7c78 - (68=37)r89c9 - (37=19)r45c9 - (19=23)r6c78 - loop
19 Eliminations: r6c2 <> 2, r6c2 <> 3, r6c3 <> 2, r6c3 <> 3, r7c2 <> 3, r7c2 <> 4, r7c3 <> 3, r7c3 <> 4, r2c4 <> 3, r2c4 <> 5, r3c4 <> 3, r3c4 <> 5, r2c9 <> 3, r3c9 <> 3, r3c9 <> 7, r5c6 <> 8, r8c6 <> 8, r9c5 <> 8, r9c8 <> 8
4) Variant SK loop: (2=368)r6c56 - (368=5)r45c4 - (5=138)r89c4 - (138=4)r7c56 - (4=368)r7c78 - (368=7)r89c9 - (7=139)r45c9 - (139=2)r6c78 - loop
8 Eliminations: r4c5 <> 3, r5c6 <> 3, r4c8 <> 3, r5c7 <> 3, r8c6 <> 3, r9c5 <> 3, r8c7 <> 3, r9c8 <> 3
5) (6=1)r7c5678 - (1=6)r1c56, r2c56, r3c56 => -6 r1c7
6) (9)r1c8 = (9)r3c9 - (9=1)r3c4 - (1)r2c6 = (1)r7c6 - (1=9)r7c3 => -9 r1c3
7) (1)r6c7 = (1-9)r6c2 = (9-8)r5c1 = (8)r9c1 - (8=1)r7c2 => -1 r6c2
8) (2=5)r5c7 - (5)r4c8 = (5)r4c5 - (5=3)r5c4 - (3=2)r6c6 => -2 r5c6, r6c8; stte
