w-wing with pincer transport: (7=3) r8c6 - r3c6 = r3c3 - (3=7) r1c2 - r1c8 = r9c8 => -7 r8c9; stte

Also (not shown in PM) xy-wing with pincer transport: (7=3) r1c2 - (3=1) r1c4 - (1=7) r3c5 - r7c5 = r7c3 => -7 r1c3, r9c2; stte

The UR type 1 of 16's at r45c29 leads to r4c9 <> 16: stte.

Old school: (1=3)r3c3 - (3=6)r9c3 - (6=7)r7c3 - (7=1)r7c5 => -1r3c5; stte

I took the x-wing in 7's too, for the PM grid. Is that non-standard ?

Same elimination as Leren's W-Wing, but with what would be an XY-Chain except for one trivalue. :D

(7=4)r2c9-(49=5)r2c64-(5=4)r9c4-(4=7)r9c8=>r8c9<>7

Most try to solve a puzzle with one step after basics. However, single-step solutions aren't mandatory. In fact, they sometimes obscure a more reasonable multi-step solution, IMO.
