My path for this one. Again, it’s required Triple Kraken to downgrade for the puzzle with ER 9.0 :D.
Look at: if r2c4<>2 => XY chain:(2)r9c4=(2-3)r6c4=r6c5-(3=2)r9c5 => r8c5<>2

01- (9)r3c1-r7c1-r7c9=r13c9 => r3c78<>9
02- Present as diagram: => r8c5<>2, some singles.

05- XY-wing: (459)r7c39/r8c8 => r8c23<>4, some singles.

Hi,
Congratulations Totuan for your tenacity and your interest in my puzzles. The grids of this level are not easy to solve if you don't accept to use the chain (track) of direct contradiction.
Here is my 3-step resolution with TDP :
1) With an anti-track:
P'(9r8c2) : -9r8c2-> ---- ->9r5c8 (see diagram and puzzle1) =>-9r8c8 => r8c2=9 and r3c1=9

Code: Select all
                                                 ->5r3c7->3r3c8->9r5c8
                                                |
 -9r8c2->46r8c23->5r7c3->5r9c8----------------->|<----------------------------------------
             \                                  |                                         |
              ->(2r8c7->8r8c5->8r7c7)->4r7c9->5r4c9->3r4c1->3r9c2->3r7c4->3r6c5->5r6c6->5r1c5

2) With two conjugated tracks and an extension :
P(4r7c3) : 4r7c3->6r8c3->2r8c7->8r8c5
P(5r7c3) : 5r7c3-> --- ->8r8c5 (see diagrame and puzzle2)
=> r8c5=8,-4r9c2 =>+7 placements

Code: Select all
                                       ->2r6c5->8r8c5
                                      /
                   ->2r9c7->3r9c5->3r6c4----------------------------------------
                 /                    \                                         \
                /                      ->5r6c5--------                           \
               /                                      \                           \
    ->4r8c3->6r9c2----------------------------->5r3c2--->5r2c6->5r1c9->*26r2c19->2r9c4->8r8c5
  /                                          /                /
5r7c3->3r7c1->(5r4c1->4r4c9*)->3r4c7------>8r3c7             /
  \                      \       \      /                   /
   ->5r9c8------------------------->5r5c7-------------------

3) With an anti-track:
P'(3r7c4) : -3r7c4-> --- ->3r4c1 (see diagram and puzzle3) => -3r7c1, stte.

Code: Select all
                           -------------------->2r3c9
                          /                  /    \
                         /--------------->6r2c9    \
                        /       /                   \
-3r7c4->7r7c4->9r7c6->5r7c9->4r4c9                   \
           \            \                             \
            \             ->5r9c2->57r13c3->2r2c1      \
             \                                 \        \
               ---------------------------------->8r3c4--->57r3c36->3r3c7->3r4c1
