Instead of XY-Chain, there's probably a BUG+3 logic that I don't understand.

What I do understand is:

(27) UR [r89c35] => [r8c5]<>7, [r9c5]<>2
BUG+1

I can't follow Danny's UR logic.

Norm's Skyscraper elimination can also be seen as a Kite. Then, instead of an XY Chain, there is an interesting UR based "XY Wing":
Code:
+----------+-----------------+-------+
| 8 7  6   | 29  @23     239 | 5 4 1 |
| 2 3  4   | 15   16     156 | 8 9 7 |
| 5 9  1   | 4    8      7   | 6 2 3 |
+----------+-----------------+-------+
| 3 1  8   | 79   67     69  | 4 5 2 |
| 4 2  9   | 3    5      8   | 7 1 6 |
| 7 6  5   | 12   4      12  | 3 8 9 |
+----------+-----------------+-------+
| 1 8  3   | 6    9      4   | 2 7 5 |
| 9 4 [27] | 257 $3[27]  235 | 1 6 8 |
| 6 5 [27] | 8   $1[27] @12  | 9 3 4 |
+----------+-----------------+-------+

The 27UR in r89c35 creates a {13} pseudo-cell ($) in r89c5 from which we get a 123 XY Wing with <2> pincers at @. <2>s are eliminated from r1c6 and r89c5.

 # 21 eliminations remain

Old-style UR logic. At least one of [r8c5]=3, [r9c5]=1 must be true for (27) UR in [r89c35].

Code:
[r8  c5]=3   => [r8c5]<>7
[r924c5]=167 => [r8c5]<>7   q.e.d.

[r9  c5]=1   => [r9c5]<>2
[r81 c5]=32  => [r9c5]<>2   q.e.d.

I've used this approach in the past, but never knew if it had a number.

[Edit: corrected typo noticed by Asellus. Thanks!]

First of all, I misunderstood and thought you were applying the UR before using the Skyscraper/Kite on 4. My mistake.

After the Skyscraper/Kite, I would see it as a Type "6A", according to which r8c5<>2 since this forces the DP. This is based on the conjugate <7>s in c3 and r9 and the 27 bivalues at r89c3. Your reasoning that r8c5<>7 and r9c5<>2 (not r9c1, I assume) based on resulting locked sets is interesting. Combining the two approaches determines that r8c5=3.

I am embarrassed that I didn't notice the 12 locked pair in c6 Embarassed . The pseudocell XY Wing results immediately in r8c5=3 as well. So, it seems to be another way to see the same thing.
